Automatic Mime viewing

Automatic Mime viewing

[Peter Weiss - Sun Germany ENS Engineer Mission Critical - Munich]

Hello,

    sorry, this may be a basic question, but found nothing in the docs:

    How do I tell gnus (v5.8.7) to start xv for displaying jpegs
    (hitting 'v' in the article buffer gnus allways asks me for a
    viewer)? Neither the gnus info docs nor the emacs-mime info file
    tell me how to set this up.

    Thanks for hints -- Peter

`v' is intended to ask for a viewer.  What happens when you hit `RET'?
If this starts the wrong program, make an entry in ~/.mailcap like so:

    image/jpeg; xv %s

I use `image/*' rather than `image/jpeg' because xv seems to be a good
program for all kinds of images.
