Yes! This idea led me to a working solution^W hack:
set mailcap_path=~/.mailcap-edit-wrapper
and that file then contains entries for all types such as:
application/*; chmod +w %s && run-mailcap --action=edit %t:%s
Unfortunately, the main type ("application") cannot be wildcarded,
but there's only a limited set of those, so no big deal. The chmod
is needed since mutt saves the temporary file read-only.
So now it's easy to create a macro as you describe above, allowing
me to map 'e' to "editing an attachment".
Thanks for your help!
