You could do something like the following: Create in ~/ the files .mime.types and .mailcap ~/.mime.types application/pdf pdf ~/.mailcap application/pdf; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" application/pdf; pdftotext %s %s.txt \; cat %s.txt \; rm -f %s.txt ; copiousoutput then edit ~/.muttrc and add: auto_view text/html message/* application/pdf If I didn't make any mistake you should get a text rendering of the pdf directly in mutt (for a quick look). I you want to see the pdf in evince hit 'v', select the pdf and hit 'enter'.
