It could use mailcap. I'll send a suggestion to the author, although I don't know how actively he is working on it now. most(1) supports multiple windows and multiple files. It can display text or binaries. It can open additional files after activation and can drop you into a test editor to edit the displayed file. I've been using most for many years as it was originally written for VMS back in the 80's. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
