Wrap it in a script like this one:

You still have to tweak mutt to call the wrapper, which should say something like:
#!/bin/sh
# timedout gpg caller
exec timeout 10 gpg ${1+"$@"}
to do a 10 second timeout.

I don't use xv in autoview; instead I have a binding for the attachments view
to launch xv with a single keystroke ("n"). My autoview setting is this:
image/jpg; imsize %s | sed 's/ /x/'; copiousoutput
and likewise for the other image types (hmm, btw does image/* work?).
This basicly reports the image dimensions in the autoview.
The attachment key binding is this:
macro attach n <search>\\.(jpe?g|png)<enter><view-attach>
which skips to the first JPEG and runs the viewer (xv for you from your mailcap).

That said, I'm inclined to agree that that's not necessarily a good
idea. I always wanted to write a little program that would pop up a
Mac window to ask ``I'm going to amputate a limb at random from you
now.'' to see how many people would instinctively click "OK".
