I've followed the smime howto's, imported my certs, tried .mime.types,
.mailcap to no avail. mutt refuses to decrypt it. When i select the

Here's my ${HOME}/.mailcap
###############################################################
application/octet-stream; /home/jason/bin/dump_octet.sh %s; \ needsterminal
text/html; lynx --dump --force-html %s; copiousoutput

And the shell script calls openssl to decrypt.
If I 'v'iew an html attachment in an unencrypted email, the above
mailcap is referenced, and the action performed. I know this because
when I remove the '--force-html' the output is raw html.
When I do the same 'v'iew on a smime.p7m file (application/octet-stream)
mutt complains with "No matching mailcap entry found. Viewing as text."
Just wild guess, what if you press 'm' (edit-mime) instead of <enter>
after pressing 'v'.
Same result, when I press 'm' after 'v', I get the following:
mailcap entry for type "application/octet-stream" not found
So, I looked at the help for that page (a little sleep does wonders for
not missing the obvious ;-) ), and saw that '^E' allows me to edit the
content type. So I change it to "application/x-pkcs7-mime". Then, I
edit my ${HOME}/.mailcap to look like the following:
#################################################################
application/octet-stream; /home/jason/bin/dump_octet.sh %s;
needsterminal
application/x-pkcs7-mime; /home/jason/bin/dump_octet.sh %s;
needsterminal
text/html; lynx --dump --force-html %s; copiousoutput
#################################################################
Same result. I edit the mime-type with '^E', the hit enter to view it,
and it says matching mailcap entry not found....
There has to be something obvious that I'm missing. :-(
thx,
Jason.
