Public bug reported:
Hello; when I try to view PDFs from mutt, gimp is selected. Gimp is a
very poor choice for viewing PDFs. I have evince installed, but evince
is listed after gimp in my /etc/mailcap file. I tried to fix this by
using the /etc/mailcap.order file but this failed:
$ grep application/pdf /etc/mailcap
application/pdf; gimp-2.10 %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
application/pdf; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
$ cat /etc/mailcap.order
