Your app is mutt. It uses your .mailcap file. Mine says: image/jpeg; ah %s -end xv; gui image/jpeg; noui iminfo %s; copiousoutput image/pjpeg; ah %s -1 xv; gui image/pjpeg; noui iminfo %s; copiousoutput Which runs "iminfo" (a small script that runs jhead etc) for text display and "xv" inside my "ah" script for the attachment display. Make yourself a "~/.mailcap" file if you don't have one. Add this: image/jpeg; your-preferred-viewer %s; gui image/jpeg; ls -ld %s; copiousoutput and repeat with other content types as I have done if people send you images in those types. The mutt-users list is a useful place to hang out, BTW.
