--- Begin Message ---Package: mozilla-thunderbird Version: 1.0.2-2.sarge1.0.6 Severity: normal Piping of attachements through external programs does not work as required. In fact no piping takes place. Take e.g. the follwoing lines in .mailcap application/x-chess-pgn;cmail application/x-chess;cmail This should _pipe_ the attachment trough cmail, but seems to call cmail with a parameter which is not compliant to .mailcap. As a work arround one could use the following script: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # # simple cmail wrapper # cmail needs the moves from stdin if called from a mail program. not # all mailprograms support piping though... # if [ -f $1 ]; then cat $1 | cmail else cmail fi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- and specify application/x-chess-pgn;cm "%u" application/x-chess;cm "%u" in .mailcap. But this is only a work arround, not a fix. Thunderbird should obey .mailcap correctly as other mailers do (e.g. mutt). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages mozilla-thunderbird depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.4-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxp6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System printing extension ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: * mozilla-thunderbird/browser: Debian

As you say, the main user of Icedove doesn't need to process some output of Icedove through a external program. And if needed there a some more practical alternatives like mutt for example. So I will close this bug as you suggested. -- Regards Carsten
