I received an email sent using thunderbird that did not use
attachment. The body is just text like the following:
-BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-
Charset: ISO-8859-1
Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)
Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org

-END PGP MESSAGE--
Presently my mailcap calls a script to dumptext using a variety
of viewers. The extra level of abstraction makes it easier to do
things like detect the terminal width, so it looks something like
this:
text/html; dumptext w3m %s ; nametemplate=%s.html ; copiousoutput ; test=which
w3m >/dev/null 2
