Re: mc Digest, Vol 126, Issue 4

Yes: good explanation.------
File: mc.ext    Line 629 Col 1   16958 bytes                100%

# xz
regex/\.xz$
        Open=xz -dc %f | %var{PAGER:more}
        View=%view{ascii} xz -dc %f 2>/dev/null
===
-> which xz == /usr/bin/xz
So I'd expect: `xz -dc SomeFile.xz` to <show> the expanded file
in a terminal, and for mc to show via <F3>.
