+Indicate whether external @acronym{MIME} handlers should be used.
+
+If @code{t}, all defined external @acronym{MIME} handlers are used. If
+@code{nil}, files are saved to disk (@code{mailcap-save-binary-file}).
+If it is the symbol @code{ask}, you are prompted before the external
+@acronym{MIME} handler is invoked.
+
+When you launch an attachment through mailcap (@pxref{mailcap}) an
+attempt is made to use a safe viewer with the safest options---this isn't
+the case if you save it to disk and launch it in a different way
+(command line or double-clicking). Anyhow, if you want to be sure not
+to launch any external programs, set this variable to @code{nil} or
+@code{ask}.
