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).
