Hi,
You can get mutt_bgrun from the internet and use it in your .mailcap.
Example:
application/pdf; mutt_bgrun xpdf %s ; copiousoutput
and when you press enter on an attachment the process defined in
.mailcap will start in background leting you continue working with
mutt.
I usualy set it this way:
application/pdf; mutt_bgrun xpdf %s >> /dev/null 2>&1; copiousoutput
because some applications dump error messages that mess with the
terminal where mutt is running.
