I think you could use something like mutt.octet.filter (There's a perl |
| 29 |
version at http://www.davep.org/mutt/mutt.octet.filter.pl) to handle |
| 30 |
application/octet-stream mime types. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
It uses file to try to determine the proper type and can then use |
| 33 |
whatever is in your mailcap to determine what to run. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
It should be pretty easy to extend it to match on filename if you really |
| 36 |
wanted to. |
