For contrast, here's my .mailcap, which works for X and non-X modes: text/html; /home/sterling/bin/browser %s; text/calendar; icalmutt.rb -i 'mailto:sterl...@camdensoftware.com' %s; image/*; mutt_bgrun qiv %s; edit=mutt_bgrun gimp %s; test=RunningX; application/pdf; mutt_bgrun mupdf %s; test=RunningX; application/ms-tnef; tnef -t %s; copiousoutput; needsterminal; application/msword; mutt_bgrun libreoffice %s; test=RunningX; application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document; mutt_bgrun libreoffice %s; test=RunningX; application/msword; antiword %s; copiousoutput; needsterminal; application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document; antiword %a | less; application/x-zip-compressed; unzip -l %s; copiousoutput; needsterminal; application/zip; unzip -l %s; copiousoutput; needsterminal; audio/mpeg; mplayer %s; Here's the "browser" script referenced above: #!/bin/sh if RunningX then firefox $* >/dev/null 2>&1 & sleep 3 else w3m -t text/html $* fi The "sleep" is to keep mutt from deleting the temp file before Firefox can load it. "RunningX" is a little C program I downloaded from the web somewhere: #include <stdlib.h> #include <X11/Xlib.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { exit(XOpenDisplay(getenv("DISPLAY")) == NULL); } Build it with this Makefile (on FreeBSD -- it will need some minor adjustments for other platforms): RunningX: RunningX.c gcc -Wall -I/usr/local/include -o RunningX RunningX.c /usr/local/lib/libX11.so /usr/local/lib/libX11-xcb.so strip RunningX icalmutt.rb can be downloaded as part of this: http://www.chipstips.com/?p=538 The other apps referenced are available from various locations online or the FreeBSD ports system.
