No it won't.  It requires a two step process of gpg decrypting it, then piping 
it to the application that can handle the mime type of the file;  you may need 
something like xdg-open to process it and call the default application for the 
mime type, or perhaps .mailcap can play a role here?  Someone with better 
knowledge in this should come along soon to explain.
