Hi Johannes
I agree with you and have been hit myself many times by the same "feature", but
it has nothing to do with Calibre but with the "special" way how mailcap
entries are handled in Debian.
Unfortunately at there moment it is "last one wins", which is suboptimal to say
the least, but nobody stepped forward to work on improving the current system.
I recommend setting mailcap entries personally, as system wide one are
completely unreliable.
I tend to close this but it reassign to mailcap/whatever package name is, but
there are already quite a lot of reports to the same effect I guess.
WDYT?
Norbert
