Package: cone
Version: 0.89-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Cone deals with MIME attachments according to the specification of *.filter
files, one for each MIME type.
The current package comes with a small number of such files, with application
names hardcoded within. Since these specific applications may in general not
even be installed these files serve as little more than examples. A more 
suitable
approach would be to use the /etc/alternatives system.
In any event the tedious job of creating these files for all relevant MIME types
is left to the user, when this information is already available in the mailcap
file.
Ideally, cone could use the mailcap file to deal with attachments. Alternatively
a script could be run at installation time which reads the mailcap file and
generates all *.filter files at once.

Thank you for considering these possibilities,
João
