Out of curiosity (and to learn more) I just checked how MIME parts are
displayed automatically. It is very simple:

  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=foo

  Content-Disposition: inline; filename=foo

'inline' attachments are displayed, 'attachment' not. So if you wanna
display all attachments automagically, a procmail recipe (using sed)
should do it. Of course, you have to use procmail for that... ;-)


Please note:
- Russell's warning is somewhat negative, but might become the truth.
- I am not sure, what "automatic display" of OOo documents (as example)
will do. Don't know, if that only will aplly of types Evo can display
inline. But it may launch OpenOffice and thus mean a good load to your
machine.
