I have been using it for a long time and made some small extensions.
It's attached to this mail. No idea where the original is, sorry.
Have fun,
Andy.

# This script file is a pretty brain-dead, last resort, "works for me"
# utility that will attempt to make sense of any octet-stream data
# that is received as part of an email and act as a filter for use
# with mutt's auto_view ability.
#
# Here is how I use it. In my ~/.mutt_mailcap (use your filename of
# choice) I have the following entry:
#
# application/octet-stream; mutt.octet.filter %s | vcat -s; copiousoutput
#
# 'vcat' is a silly little utility that strips any non-printing
# characters, use your non-printing filter of choice. You don't need
# that filter there, mutt.octet.filter attempts to not show binary
# data, but belt and braces can be a good idea now and again.
#
# All you then need to do is add a line like:
#
# auto_view application/octet-stream
#
# to your ~/.muttrc (use your filename of choice).
#
# In it's current state the script isn't perfect, it's your typical
# "works for me" type of script and is offered in the hope that it
# maybe handy and that you can do something with it.
