At the last meeting after the intermission (that's where the library
staff kicks us out of the Missouri Valley Room and into the parking lot)
I mentioned that lynx will display .gif and .jpg files with a tweak to
/etc/mailcap but didn't remember exactly what it was.  The necessary lines
are:

image/*; xv %s; test = test $DISPLAY
image/*; zgv %s; test = test ! $DISPLAY
 
which will use zvg if you are not using "X" and use xv if you are (but
why use lynx from an xterm?).  It simply checks to see if you have the
environment variable DISPLAY set to decide if "X" is running.

In keeping with Monty's theme of encryption, this line in /etc/mailcap will
enable mutt to use gpg (along with a few settings in the muttrc file).  I
don't know how/if it helps other mail readers but mutt works quite well.

application/pgp-encrypted; gpg  -o - %s | metamail; needsterminal
