Package: exmh
Version: 1:2.7.2-2
Severity: minor
Hi (az)!
(This is a follow-up to bug# 293560, where I reported multiple bugs)
------
- 2.7.2 completely ignores the mailcap file
------
My previous observation was not entirely correct, though, exmh doesn't /ignore/
the mailcap, it rather seems to somehow mangle Content-Types which contain a
dot (like application/vnd.ms-powerpoint).
For example, from a raw message:
Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint;
name="file.pps"
I see in exmh
------
2. file.pps (application/vndms-powerpoint)
This is a application/vndms-powerpoint
It might be displayable with metamail. (Invoke menu with right button.)
name = file.pps
disposition = attachment
filename = file.pps
------
Note the now missing dot in the Content-Type.
And thus it's unable to find the correct entry in the mailcap file.
Attachments with a COntent-Type without a dot (like image/jpg, or even
application/msword) are working as expected.
(tclsh8.3, wish8.3)
cheers,
