showexternal(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual showexternal(1)

showexternal - Fetch and display the body of a mail message that is included by reference

showexternal body-file access-type name [site [directory [mode [server]]]]

The showexternal program will attempt to obtain the real body of a mail message that is included only by reference, using the MIME type "message/external-body". It is intended to be called by metamail via a mailcap entry like the following:

message/external-body; showexternal %s %{access-type} %{name} %{site} %{directory} %{mode} %{server} ; needsterminal

If it succeeds in fetching the message body, showexternal will then call metamail to actually display it.

metamail(1)

The FTP environment variable can override "ftp" as the name of the ftp program.

Not the greatest error handling in the world.
