5 # Purpose: To be called by mutt as indicated by .mailcap to handle mail attachments.
6 #
7 # Function: Copy the given file to a temporary directory so mutt
8 # Won't delete it before it is read by the application.
9 #
10 # Along the way, discern the file type or use the type
11 # That is given.
12 #
13 # Finally use 'open' or 'open -a' if the third argument is
14 # given.
15 #
16 #
17 # Arguments:
18 #
19 # $1 is the file
20 # $2 is the type - for those times when file magic isn't enough.
21 # I frequently get html mail that has no extension
22 # and file can't figure out what it is.
23 #
24 # Set to '-' if you don't want the type to be discerned.
25 # Many applications can sniff out the type on their own.
26 # And they do a better job of it too.
27 #
28 # Open Office and MS Office for example.
29 #
30 # $3 is open with. as in open -a 'open with this .app' foo.xls
31 #
32 # Examples: These are typical .mailcap entries which use this program.

45 # # If your Start OpenOffice.org.app is spelled with a space like this one, <--
46 # # then you'll need to precede the space with a \ . I found that too painful
47 # # and renamed it with an _.
