[PLUG] mutt text/* auto-view hack

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I recently added an auto-view directive for mime type text/*. Then I
needed to specify a viewer, so I specified cat. (Special cases come
first, so text/html is still handled by lynx, for example.) Never mind
why, it solved an obscure problem.

But then I realized I could do more things. So now even text/plain
gets statistics computed. My auto-viewer is mutt-cat-view (6 lines, 21
words, 141 characters). It's attached, for your amusement. I think
it's cool to know just how many words you wrote me when I read your
email. I'm trying to think of more interesting analyses to do.
