And, for opening the right apps, using a .mailcap file can help [1] (where you
can specify apps to use when in Windows, or when in Linux, all in the same
file).

## .mailcap -- MIME Viewer configuration file
#* Commentary:
# `%s' means "put the datafile name here when the viewer is executed"
#
# `test=test -n "$DISPLAY"' is used to determine if the current session is
# X-capable (by checking for the existence of a DISPLAY environment
# variable)
#* Code:
#...
application/pdf; "C:/Program Files (x86)/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" "%s"
application/pdf; evince "%s"; test=sh -c 'test $DISPLAY'
application/pdf; pdftotext "%s" -; copiousoutput
#...

Best regards,
Seb
[1] At least, for opening Gnus attachments.
