BTW: How to open the Nautilus file viewer from a terminal?
I have forgotten the command.

"nautilus --browser"


When the file is attached as "application/acrobat attachment"
or "application/stream attachment" I only get the option to save the
file and the use an external viewer to actually look at the file. Where
to enable the inside Evo viewing? Is related to mime.types and/or
mailcap files??

MIME type handling is desktop-wide, not Evolution-specific.

For "application/acrobat" attachments (which is not a valid MIME type,
see [1]), save the file to disk and teach Nautilus how to handle it.
Your choice of application will then be listed in Evolution.

"application/stream", on the other hand, is a generic description for
unknown MIME types.  You probably don't want to associate an application
for that type since it could be anything.  Evolution -should- attempt to
guess the type from the attachment's filename extension (e.g. .pdf), but
if it lacks even that then your only choice it to save it to disk.
