showexternal(1M)
showexternal --
display the body of a mail message included by reference
Synopsis
showexternal body-file access-type name [site [directory [mode [server]]]]
Description
The showexternal program
uses the MIME type message/external-body to identify
the real body of a
mail message that is included only by reference and
attempts to fetch it.
It is intended to be called by metamail
via a mailcap entry modeled after the following:
message/external-body; showexternal %s %{access-type} %{name}
%{site} %{directory} %{mode} %{server} ; needsterminal
If it succeeds in fetching the message body,
showexternal calls metamail to actually display it.
