I can understand that, but from what we've seen it looks like run-mailcap simply is non-functional with base nmh (Conrad said it didn't work; a lot of cases of "file not found").
hmm, as far as i'm aware debian's mime-support (and its run-mailcap component) is very well primed from the get-go, but that's between conrad, me and the other debian maintainers.
debian's exmh uses run-mailcap, which is the only thing we can depend on
...
And I was actually under the impression that exmh used mailcap directly,
yes, sorry, that was a typo - i meant nmh. (i'm maintaining both nmh and exmh and the brain must have suffered a small jolt...) anyway, i think this is resolved; i've briefly discussed this with conrad off-list and amended the mhn.defaults that debian's nmh ships (plus more visible documentation of what the differences between upstream and debian are). i've also asked conrad to prod me (well, whoever is the debian maintainer of something) a bit earlier in the future: it's a pity that he misliked the defaults for so long without a peep, and this could have been resolved much sooner. you guys naturally aren't in any way responsible for the (relatively small) mods that were needed to make nmh fit in with debian, and it's an integral part of being a debian maintainer to be the first point of contact when users experience problems with your packages. so here's my thanks to everybody on the list for not being offended when being bothered with debian-specific issues :-) regards az -- Alexander Zangerl + GPG Key 0xB963BD5F (or 0x42BD645D) + http://snafu.priv.at/ Competely pointless fact of the day: One of my rats is called Solaris, due to the fact it's fat and bloated. The other is called Perl. It's a nervous insane little animal. -- Ashley Penney
