Oh, I see I disabled that in the past. I guess auto_view worked
for the pager and replying (by passing the plain text to the editor)
but the .mailcap text/html entry also effects the attachment display.
In my attachment menu I'd like to be able to have it still run
my web browser for text/html.
Is there anyway to say use auto_view and the .mailcap entry for the
pager, but in the attachment menu use a different mailcap entry?
I didn't see in 3.3.1 Optional Fields a way to have different mailcap
entries for the pager and the attachment menu.
