Subject: display mime-part inline
Date: Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:13:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k43wca5s.fsf@micropit.couberia.bzh> (raw)

Hello,

Sometimes, I want to display a pdf or ms-word document inline in the
article buffer, even with running X11.

For ms-word, these are my .mailcap entries:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
application/msword;             ooffice %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
application/msword;             doc2txt.sh %s; copiousoutput
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When pressing "RET", Gnus uses the first entry to display the
attachment. With "v", I can select "doc2txt.sh %s" and the message
"Displaying doc2txt.sh /tmp/xxxxx...done" appears, but no text in the
article buffer...

Now, I use a workaround:
- comment first line in .mailcap
- run `mailcap-parse-mailcaps'
- uncomment first line in .mailcap
- press "RET" to display the attachment inline

Is there an easier way?

TIA for any help,
-- 
           Peter
