It is unfortunate that Mutt and Netscape can't share a mailcap file.
Your best bet is to maintain two different mailcap files. I name mine
".mailcap.mutt", and set Mutt to use it like this:
set mailcap_path=~/.mailcap.mutt
The main difference is that ~/.mailcap has entries in this format:
video/*; xanim +Sr +B +Ae "%s" >/dev/null
audio/x-pn-realaudio; raplayer "%s"
application/pdf; acroread -tempFile "%s"
application/postscript; ghostview "%s"
while ~/.mailcap.mutt puts them in this format:
text/html; lynx -dump -force_html %s; copiousoutput
image/*; xv %s
video/*; xanim +Sr +B +Ae %s >/dev/null
audio/x-pn-realaudio; raplayer %s
application/pdf; acroread -tempFile %s
application/postscript; ghostview %s
application/x-gzip; gzcat %s; copiousoutput
application/x-gunzip; gzcat %s; copiousoutput
application/octet-stream; octet-view %s; copiousoutput
The main difference is that Netscape will not quote filenames correctly,
so you must use "%s" to keep from getting errors on files with spaces in
them. Also notice that formats Netscape can handle internally are not
represented in the .mailcap file.
