Display JPEG attachment in Mutt

I added this1 to .config/mutt/mailcap:

image/jpeg; display '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

which opens Image Magick to display JPEG files.

I still need to test further how mailcap works and how or whether Mutt interacts with the /etc/mailcap file.

I do self-funded research and I'm writing a book.

> What's the book about?

About technologies and agency.

Meaning, technologies can foster agency. No doubt. But I am also asking:

Can usage of technologies give us a sense of empowerment while in fact undermining our abilities?

I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
