NAME
       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.

SEE ALSO
       metamail(1), mime(5)
