I don't think there's any native or near-native way to view graphical things like images or PDF through mutt. What I do is choose very lightweight viewer appications (feh for images and mupdf for PDFs) and refer to them in the mutt's mailcap file. This is what I got in mine: image/*; /usr/local/bin/feh %s application/pdf; /usr/local/bin/mupdf %s Since they're so lightweight and open in miliseconds, it doesn't break away from my workflow and I still can see what was meant in a message easily. You'll have to go into attachments ('v') and press 'm' to view. Hope this helps.
