% Hello everybody, 

Hi!


% 
% I'm regularly recieving perl and java programs 
% and I have to sort out "the good from the bad".

The perl sounds fun, but I feel for you for the java junk ;-)


% 
% Right now I'm using mutt and use a mailcap entry
% to open the attachments in NEdit to have the
...
% But it would be great to have a auto_view filter
...
% 
% Sure, I could define regexps in mutt for this, but
% I doubt whether this is worth the work and whether
% this means reinventing the wheel.

Yeah; that sounds ugly.


% 
% I've not digged deeper into vi/vim than the basic
% editing functions, but perhaps it can be misused
% for this...

Oh, it certainly could :-)


% 
% Does anyone of you have an idea?

Do they show up as part of the message text, or is their type not
recognized and so they're not displayed?

I don't know of any pagers (ie, not meant to be an editor but instead
just a file viewer) that do syntax highlighting, though that doesn't at
all mean that they aren't out there.

If you see them with the pager now, then you might whip up a message-hook
that sets your pager to vim (or maybe vim -R) so that you can take
advantage of vim's *extensive* syntax highlighting -- and, new in 6.1
or so, folding, too.
