I receive a mail with an attachement. I put "v" to view it and "enter" to open the application to open the file. If the attachement is an .odt file, while OpenOffice is open I can come back to Mutt and read other e-mails. If I've other kinds of files, as .pdf, while Kpdf is open it's impossible to come back to Mutt, or better I come back to a empty windows but I can not use it to read other e-mails. I found a little script http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/mutt_bgrun that solves this problem, but maybe there is a better way to do it without using external programs...
