Just to test this out I had sent a file "icq.tar.gz" to myself after
sourcing the octet-stream in my mailcap file and attributing it in mutt.
I had this response in the email once it came through to me.
[-- Attachment #2: icq.tar.gz --]
[-- Type: application/octet-stream, Encoding: base64, Size: 64K --]
[-- application/octet-stream is unsupported (use 'v' to view this part)
--]
this is my ~/.mutt/mutt.mailcap
application/octet-stream; mutt.octet.filter %s | cat -v ; copiousoutput
and this is what my mailcap is set to:
mailcap_path="/home/deklown/.mutt/mutt.mailcap"
