Opening Attachments

[Randy Yates]

Hi,

I'd like gnus to, e.g., automatically open MSWord and load the
attachment into it when I position the cursor over an MSWord
attachment and press <RET>, but all it does is query for a location to
save the file. Is there pre-defined keystoke to do this? I've looked
through the gnus and emacs-mime manuals and couldn't recognize an
answer to this question.

"copiousoutput": yes, "nametemplate": no.  (Found by grepping the
source; I didn't look into the details).

RFC 1524 ("Multimedia Mail Configuration") or the mailcap man page (on
Unices).

Bye, Reiner.
