Here is the two lines I use in my ~/.mailcap ch...@stewie.xaerolimit.net:~$ cat .mailcap text/html; /usr/bin/links2 -dump -force-html %s application/pgp-keys; pgp -f < %s ; copiousoutput ch...@stewie.xaerolimit.net:~$ Keep in mind, that I use mutt strictly on a headless box and I shell in to it to read my mail. So I don't have any mailcap settings for example to pass pdf's to a viewer (since this box doesn't run X, that wouldn't do me any good, although I could do something like pdf2text but that never looked right for me. In your case though, if the file really is gzip, you could do "application/gzip; gzcat -" ... provided the gzipped file is a textfile, else you could gzip -d and pipe it to your reader of choice, if it's been tar'd, then tar -xf - | your_reader might be more appropriate. P.S. I'm still someone new to mailcap, so I might be wrong, there may be a better way to do this already. ither way, what ever you do find, post it to the list so it can be archived and found later. -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
