Hmm.....

This sounds good.  In that case, a mailcap entry like:
     cp %s /tmp/junk$$;swriter /tmp/junk$$ &
might work. This would leave attachments in /tmp, but,
a cron job could remove them OK. I guess I could get more
creative with the new file name, maybe moving the file to
My Documents/mutt or some such. Yes, this sounds very
promising.

I'll have to test this out when I get home.

BTW, the whole point of this exercise is to be able to
read attachments and kept them up on the screen while
being able to use mutt to read or write more mail.

Thanks for the insight.
