One idea could be to try Dave Pearson's 'mutt.octet.filter' (found on: http://www.davep.org/mutt/ ), which "... will attempt to guess the true content of an octet-stream MIME attatchment and format for easy text-oriented viewing."

Again, who knows, it might work. *smiles hopefully* Cheers, /Martin (who has exhausted his "knowledge" of mailcap-related problems and hopes a full-fledged mailcap-guru will join the thread. :-) ) -- Martin Karlsson <martin.karlsson at visit.se>
