Well that's awfully complicated. Why not just pipe the message into metamail? It'll bust a multipart message into parts and run whatever it needs on each part. In mailx, "pi metamail" In Mutt, perhaps "| metamail" Etch came with an /etc/mailcap that was pretty sensible, didn't need any editing. I went back and forth with whether I wanted to display cruft-o-messages with Iceape or Lynx. The default was Lynx.
