How does one handle attachments? I saw the pipe command and tried to
pipe a pdf file to Evince, but it didn't seem to work as I had expected.
Do I need an old school viewer like gv for this to work? It's also
possible I didn't specify the command properly. I get a lot of
pdf/ps/eps/png attachments, so this is crucial need for me.

I'm also noticing significant delays in opening large mailboxes (>30,000
messages) over IMAP (despite header and body caching). I understand the
better way to deal with this would be to have a local IMAP server which
syncs with my email provide? Does any one have any recommendations for a
very light weight IMAP server (I'm on a laptop)?

PS: I have all html email handled with w3m -dump. It's pretty cool to
    ignore all html so trivially. :)
