# SYNOPSIS
|
||||||
|
# mutt_bgrun viewer [viewer options] file
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
# Mutt invokes external attachment viewers by writing the
|
||||||
|
# attachment to a temporary file, executing the pipeline specified
|
||||||
|
# for that attachment type in the mailcap file, waiting for the
|
||||||
|
# pipeline to terminate, writing nulls over the temporary file,
|
||||||
|
# then deleting it. This causes problems when using graphical
|
||||||
|
# viewers such as qvpview and acroread to view attachments.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# If qvpview, for example, is executed in the foreground, the mutt
|
||||||
|
# user interface is hung until qvpview exits, so the user can't do
|
||||||
|
# anything else with mutt until he or she finishes reading the
|
||||||
|
# attachment and exits qvpview. This is especially annoying when
|
||||||
|
# a message contains several MS Office attachments--one would like
|
||||||
|
# to have them all open at once.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# If qvpview is executed in the background, it must be given
|
||||||
|
# enough time to completely read the file before returning control
|
||||||
|
# to mutt, since mutt will then obliterate the file. Qvpview is
|
||||||
|
# so slow that this time can exceed 20 seconds, and the bound is
|
||||||
|
# unknown. So this is again annoying.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# The solution provided here is to invoke the specified viewer
|
||||||
|
# from this script after first copying mutt's temporary file to
|
||||||
|
# another temporary file. This script can then quickly return
|
||||||
|
# control to mutt while the viewer can take as much time as it
|
||||||
|
# needs to read and render the attachment.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# EXAMPLE
|
||||||
|
# To use qvpview to view MS Office attachments from mutt, add the
|
||||||
|
# following lines to mutt's mailcap file.

||||||
