Hi - I've read so many websites and the manuals to set up attachment viewing from mutt. I've got a .mutt/auto_view file and a .mutt/mailcap file with appropriate entries in it. The main problem i'm having is with ms applications - word is the one i've tried so far. I got around this by putting the following in my .mutt/mailcap file: application/msword; view_attachment %s "-" '/Applications/Microsoft\ Office\ 2004/Microsoft\ Word' and have a 'view_attachment' script in /usr/local/bin. This worked ok, but when opening mail with a word document attached, i kept getting an error-message saying: "mailcap entry application/msword not found". This frustrated me and i thought my configuration must be wrong. I was able to open the attachment by pressing the 'v' key to view, and selecting the attachment which then opened it with the msword program. I was still bothered by the mailcap entry error i was getting. I then installed antiword and added the following entry into my .mutt/mailcap file: "application/msword; antiword %s | more; copiousoutput; needsterminal" This does allow me to view the attachment contents, but can't open the attachment with the word program. I would like to do both, this is where i'm having problems. Perhaps my set up is wrong? Does anyone have any suggestions? Jamie
