I was going to suggest that earlier, but I don't think it solves this particular problem. mutt_bgrun copies the attachment to a temporary file, runs the viewer on that file, then deletes that file when the viewer exits. If libreoffice3.5 returns immediately, you still have the same problem of the file being deleted before the viewer can open it. One solution would be to modify mutt_bgrun to not delete the temporary file. Then you have to solve the problem of accumulated temporary files. Another approach would be to put something like 'sleep 60' on the line before 'rm -f "$tmpfile"' in mutt_bgrun to keep the temporary file around long enough for the viewer to open it before it is deleted.
