That's not what I meant :); after pressing 'v', I get a "tree" of the
attachments in this email. Suppose that one of them is an image, .e.g.,
monkey.jpg. How do I go about seeing that picture?
To successfully pipe it into an image viewer I would need an image viewer
which reads raw data from stdin, something which isn't very common... The
only other option is to first save that image into a separate file, and then
invoke (outside of mutt) the image viewer; but this isn't very practical...
When you receive an image as an attachment, how do you see its contents? Do
you first save it into a file, put mutt into the background and then run an
image viewer?
Thank you for any help,
Mack S.
