Use this script (or something like it) as your viewer, like this:
        image/jpeg; ns-wrapper %s

#!/bin/sh
## Wrap ns so that it doesn't lose the file
set -- `echo $1 | sed -e 's/\(.*\)\.\([^\.][^\.]*\)$/\1 \2/'`
file=$1-tmp.$2
echo ln -s $1.$2 ${file}
netscape -remote "openURL(${file}, new-window)"
exec sh -c "sleep 60; rm -f ${file}" &

Untested, watch out, beware, etc.
