I think Lars has added a command which allows you to enter a content
type and then launches the appropriate viewer.  Don't know whether
that's in 0.95 already.

With older Gnusae, you can say `v' on the button, then enter the
viewing command ("applixviewer %s" or something).  Please note that
it's supposed to do completion, thus you have to type C-q SPC to enter
SPC.
