Not exactly what was asked, but I use this mailcap to view image
attachments:

image/png; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal

It uses the sixel support in xterm (or any other terminal that supports
sixels) to display images in the terminal. I think you just need
something like this in .Xresources to enable it in xterm:

XTerm*decTerminalID: vt382
