    You have "auto_view application/pdf" or $implicit_autoview=yes, but
your mailcap entry has no "copiousoutput" tag, right? Entries without
this tag are not suitable to autoview in pager, only to <view-attach>
from the attachments menu.

    Please check adding *after* your xpdf entry an entry as:

| application/pdf; pdftotext -nopgbrk %s - ; nametemplate=%s.pdf ; copiousoutput


Bye!    Alain.

 Well, I'll see what I can do to accommodate your twisted needs in
 exchange for some enlightenment.
