attachments, even when a suitable interactive command is in the mailcap
file.  This is particularly bad for text/html attachments.

Comment(by derekmartin):

 I disagree.  The help for the view-attach command (<ENTER>) says, "view
 attachment using mailcap entry if necssary."  If you have an auto-view
 setting for the given attachment type, it's NOT necessary.  Generally,
 this is what I want -- that is, Mutt should show me things it can show me
 without resorting to mailcap.  Sometimes, I do want to see the HTML
 rendered in a heavyweight browser... and I can: by pressing 'm' to force
 it to use mailcap.  This is a Good Thing (tm).
