I think I know what JM meant here. I have seen this happen myself. KMail sometimes adds a weird line in the beginning of the message/rfc822 files which stops xdgmime from recognizing them as valid message/rfc822 files and instead as text/plain. The good thing is Beagle Filters are allowed to register themselves as handlers based on mime-type, extension and _path_. Its not suitable for distribution with beagle, but if someone want to make sure all files in ~/Mail (or some other maildir client email location e.g. if mutt stored its emails as maildir) are always indexed as message/rfc822, it can be done very simply with a 10 line dummy wrapper filter. I can post an example if anyone needs one. The problem about how to open the results remains, follow Joe's earlier email in this thread on that issue. - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com beagle / KDE fan Mandriva / Inspiron-1100 user _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
