Opening the attachement part works wonderfully! I didn't seem to see a
preview, but then it could be because the pdf was a beamer presentation
with lots of plots.

Thanks a lot.

I should probably have indicated that 'copiousoutput' should be
on the SAME line as "application/pdf; pdftotext %s %s.txt ; cat %s.txt
; rm -f %s.txt ;"

I don't use it myself anymore so I tried it now and that works.

I would also change the ~/.muttrc entry to:
auto_view text/html application/pdf
(leave out the 'message/*')

I am a bit rusty on mutt mime so I copied from an old laptop
I hardly ever use anymore where I also have the following line in
the ~/.mailcap file:
text/html; elinks -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput
to get a text vesion of html mail.

Success
Alexander

Yes, I suspected it was a typo so I looked up `man mailcap' before
trying it. I tried with another pdf, again a beamer presentation but
this time more text than plots and I could see a preview indeed!

Okay, I'll leave out the message.

My line looks similar except for s/elinks/w3m/.

Thanks a lot.

I'm no mutt expert, but I keep my configs here for public copying/use:
http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/configs/mutt/

Obviously you should not just copy my config in wholesale or things
will break badly. ;-) But you can look through it for ideas. If you
don't know what a particular command means, look at the mutt docs in
/usr/share/doc/mutt-* on your machine, or GIYF. Hope this is helpful
to you!

Thanks a lot both of you. These will be very helpful as I setup
everything.

I too thank you all for your info! As soon as I can get my little
hodge-podge home setup straightened out I might look into this!
