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

Comment(by ajschorr):

 Yes, I have encountered the situation that Gary mentions.

 The patch to add a "view-mailcap-fallback" function seems to be pretty
 small.  I have attached it.  For now, I put in a binding of "M" in the
 attachment menu, but I am not particularly endorsing that choice.  I just
 needed to get it in there.

 I hope the patch is correct, but have not done a lot of testing.  It
 seemed to work in a couple of cases.  This looks like a pretty minor patch
 to me; is there any chance it could be accepted?

 Thanks for your consideration,
 Andy
