Re: Adding MIME viewer to variable instead of .mailcap

[Jake Colman <colman@ppllc.com>]

Sorry to jump into this thread but how do I use .mailcap to get gif or jpegs
to automatically view through an external application instead of internally
in the XEmacs article buffer?

I do have the following entry in my .mailcap

        image/gif; xv %s

yet the images always display inside the buffer?

Actually, what I really want is that images that are too large to fit in the
buffer should be displayed by xv, otherwise they should be displayed
internally to the buffer.

Thanks!
