Mutt and MIME types

I play with Asterisk for now and i just get a FXO Novalink card (thanks eBay). So when someone call Asterisk just take the message and mail it to me as a WAV file. But how to say to my Mutt to use the right tool for playing this file ? The answer is ~/.mailcap.

The ~/.mime.types is used to associate a file suffix to a MIME type. For the type/application association, we must play with ~/.mailcap.

WAV's stuff here :

audio/wav;/usr/bin/play %s
audio/x-wav;/usr/bin/play %s
audio/x-pn-wav;/usr/bin/play %s

Done ! /usr/bin/play is the player from SoX.

No this is not a hack nor a tip. Just some kind of reminder for me ;)
