I use:
image/gif; xv %s
image/png; xv %s
Unfortunately, this makes mutt wait for xv to exit, so I can't compare
several images, or keep an image up while I read other mail. I've tried
various combinations of adding & to the string, but haven't found one
that makes mutt keep the tmp file around long enough for xv to see it.
(I thought "xv - -name image.png &" would work, but it doesn't -- it
apparently still depends on a temp file.)
I've had the same "not waiting around long enough" problem with sending
html messages to Netscape for viewing (as an alternate when they're too
complicated to read with lynx). Has anyone found a trick to make mutt
keep the tmp file around a little longer? It's not covered in the
mailcap section of the mutt manual.
