 As a workaround, I use a wrapper to copy the attachment and run the
 viewer on the copy. Note: a copy is necessary, a hard link doesn't
 work because Mutt clears the file before removing it. Copies are
 automatically removed after some time (a few days).


 This is not sufficient: some viewers require the file to be still
 there until the document is closed.
