You should be able to do this with judicious used of mailcap entries 
[1].

If you have one entry for the mime-type with the "copiousoutput" flag, 
and you put that AFTER one without, then mutt will use the copiousoutput 
program to auto_view the attachment, but it will invoke the other one 
when you "view-mailcap". See section 3.3.2 of the manual.
