There's also tiff2pdf which would safe the detour via ps2pdf. Unfortunately piping to 'xpdf /dev/stdin' doesn't work in this case. But the following script does for me: $ cat muttiff.sh #!/bin/sh tf=`mktemp` # copy mutt's tempfile so it's not removed to early cp "$1" "$tf" tiff2ps -a "$tf" | ps2pdf - > "$tf.pdf" xpdf "$tf.pdf" && rm -f "$tf" "$tf.pdf" in connection with the mailcap entry: image/tiff; muttiff.sh %s HTH c -- \black\trash movie _C O W B O Y_ _C A N O E_ _C O M A_ Ein deutscher Western/A German Western -->> http://www.blacktrash.org/underdogma/ccc.html -->> http://www.blacktrash.org/underdogma/ccc-en.html
