Yes,
When you are reading that email, press v to find out what it tells you
about the application type, something like:
application/vnd.ms-xxxx
So then you put this in .mailcap in your home directory:
application/vnd.ms-xxxx ; /usr/local/bin/gimp %s; copiousoutput
The above assumes that you have Unix OS and that you want to run gimp as a
viewer.
Hope that helps.
