Reading this a long time after. So Cygwin provides 'cygstart' ... in what is it different from the 'start' command available from the command line under Windows ? In fact, from the command line, you can even specify : c:\>foo.jpg and your default viewer is lauched automagically. For my self, using gnus under windows for eons, I have hacked this variable for a long time : (setq mailcap-mime-data `(("application" ("vnd.ms-excel" (viewer . "\"%s\"") (type . "application/vnd.ms-excel")) ("msword" (viewer . "\"%s\"") (type . "application/msword")) ("pdf" (viewer . "\"%s\"") (type . "application/pdf")) ("zip" (viewer . "\"%s\"") (type . "application/zip")) ;; Prefer free viewers. ("pdf" (viewer . "\"%s\"") (type . "application/pdf")) ... ))) Best, -- Fabrice Popineau ------------------------ e-mail: Fabrice.Popineau@supelec.fr | The difference between theory voice-mail: +33 (0) 387764715 | and practice, is that surface-mail: Supelec, 2 rue E.
