When a MIME part is to be displayed externally, hitting RET the first
time does what one expects: it calls the external viewer. However, it
also removes the ellipsis, such that the only visible effect of a
second press of RET on that part is that the ellipsis is added again.
While this toggling behavior is meaningful for inlineable parts, I
think it does not make sense for non-inlineable parts.

Well -- and the external viewer is killed, which might be visible (or
not). The ellipsis says (in a way) what the `RET' command is going to
do -- if there are ellipsis there, then the thing will be displayed;
if not not.

Oh, I didn't realize that. I tried it on a PDF file, and Acrobat
takes so long to come up that I didn't know why it didn't come up.

Hmm. Maybe when the external viewer is run, there should be a
message to that effect...
Viewing with ghostview; use RET to kill viewer.
