same problem.  It opens successfully, but sup thinks it doesn't and
displays it as text.  All I see in the log buffer is:
 hook: read 'mime-view' from /Users/johnbent/.sup/hooks/mime-view.rb

Ah.  But
system "open '#{filename}'"
false

works perfectly!  (not sure that's expected but I'm happy!)

Thanks,
