well, it likely depends on your mail client. I'm by no means an
expert (there might be a debian specific way I don't know about), but
mailcap has met my needs. (% man mailcap)
I use mutt, and created a ~/.mailcap entry to handle certain mime
types. Mine looks something like this:
___$HOME/.mailcap___
image/*; xv %s
text/html; w3m -T text/html %s
application/msword; antiword %s | less
___
This works fine for me. I'm guessing that some of the GUI based email
clients don't adhere to this control system, but it's been too long
since I tinkered with them for me to remember. (I like my mutt).
HTH.
