could have been the manual to muttrc (see below).
it says this field is "optional". go figure.
but mind you it also says this:
Without this flag, Mutt assumes
that the command is interactive.
and we don't want interaction here, now, do we? ;-)

=== man muttrc
5.3.3. Advanced mailcap Usage
5.3.3.1. Optional Fields
In addition to the required content-type and view command fields, you
can add semi-colon ';' separated fields to set flags and other
options. Mutt recognizes the following optional fields:
copiousoutput
This flag tells Mutt that the command passes possibly large
amounts of text on stdout. This causes Mutt to invoke a pager
(either the internal pager or the external pager defined by the
pager variable) on the output of the view command. Without this
flag, Mutt assumes that the command is interactive. One could
use this to replace the pipe to more in the lynx -dump example
in the Basic section:
text/html; lynx -dump %s ; copiousoutput
This will cause lynx to format the text/html output as text/plain
and Mutt will use your standard pager to display the results.
