I'll assume that the other postings describing how to run a viewer
asynchronously work well.
To make this happen without entering the attachments menu, you'll also
need to set an autoview for the image type you're dealing with:
auto_view image/jpeg
for example.
However, that will make mutt view all JPEGs automatically -- not
necessarily what you want. You could try tricks with message-hooks --
for example:
message-hook . unauto_view image/jpeg
message-hook "~f list" auto_view image/jpeg
Or you could set up a macro that does auto_view, then displays the
message, then unauto_views. This won't have the overhead of executing
hooks for every message you read, but it would require you to recall and
use a different keystroke.
Or you could play with changing the MIME type of the image, either
through procmail or using (again) message-hooks. This would allow you to
get what you want on these messages particularly, without necessarily
running the image viewer asynchronously on other message with JPEG
attachments.
As usual, there are arguable advantages to any approach.
