Intended to be "works everywhere" level, so don't try to divine user preferences or do anything fragile with character sets or predict $PAGER capability. The user can copy to ~/.mailcap and adapt (that being entirely normal to select mail type viewing preferences ...).
The X form gets a warning from grog for me, but I think is either its fault or the way groffer runs it. # groffer looks in the input for needed preprocessors (eg. tbl). # --mode=X uses gxditview which is included in the groff package. # groffer has other mode options to easily run other graphics viewers. # -TX100 anticipates a 100dpi screen. Can -TX75 if desired. application/x-troff-ms; groffer --mode=X -TX100 -ms; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; description=Troff ms application/x-troff-me; groffer --mode=X -TX100 -me; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; description=Troff me # # -Tascii output for maximum portability. # -P -c is option -c to grotty for no SGR escapes (but still backspacing). # col -b collapses backspacing to plain text. # Both SGR and backspacing are undesirable for output to a file or an # unknown viewer (such as a mail reader). application/x-troff-ms; groffer --mode=text -Tascii -P -c -ms '%s' | col -b; copiousoutput; description=Troff ms; priority=2 application/x-troff-me; groffer --mode=text -Tascii -P -c -me '%s' | col -b; copiousoutput; description=Troff me; priority=2
