Re: [Nmh-workers] showing application/octet-stream attachments that should be text/plain

2013-03-05 12:52:45
Hi Oliver,

I find it happens quite often that I receive an e-mail where someone
has attached something that is likely to be plain text (such as a
diff) but their mail program has marked it as
application/octet-stream.  Viewing such attachments ends up being a
bit of a hassle because they need to be stored in a file first. Does
anyone know a trick for quickly viewing such attachments?

How about using the MHSHOW environment variable to give a one-off
application/octet-stream handler separate from the normal ones in your
profile?

Cheers, Ralph.
