Jonathan's message confused me too. As far as I can tell, "see" is a *shell* command, not a mutt command. I don't know why there's a ";" in front of it. unicorn:~$ see --norun application/octet-stream:/dev/null Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream" Nothing else I tried made any more sense than that. Even using ":" instead of ";" (to invoke it as a mutt command) didn't work, because "see" isn't a mutt command.
