Hi,

recently I discovered the command line program "viu" 
(https://github.com/atanunq/viu)
which very nicely displays images in terminal windows.  I added this line to my 
.mailcap:

image/*; viu -t -n %s ; copiousoutput

The copiousoutput flag could be making a difference here. That will cause Mutt to render the output of the command internally, which by default will strip all ansi output.

It sounds like you tried Oleg's suggestion, without the copiousoutput flag, but I mention that just in case.

If you really want to view it inside Mutt's pager, you could set $allow_ansi. However, first be sure to read the documentation on that option to make sure you understand the security issues. Second, I recommend updating to at least Mutt 2.1, because that version added support for 256-color ansi escape sequences.
