from the other entries in .mailcap:
application/[put mime-type here]; octet-filter %s; copiousoutput
as:
application/x-your-log-type; octet-filter %s; copiousoutput
'neetsterminal' may be required
there must be a mime-type applicable to your object file
also:
application/octet-stream; /<file-location>/<.mutt.octet.filter> %s;
copiousoutput
I believe that .mutt.octet.filter must be executable.
