Not that it matters, but RFC 1524 specifies $MAILCAPS with a default of MAILCAPS=~/.mailcap:/etc/mailcap:/usr/etc/mailcap:/usr/local/etc/mailcap where this is not a search path, but a path search (they can stack). | 'Reading up on mailcap led to mime.types and in /etc/mime.types |commenting out this line: | #application/x-ruby rb |allowed lynx to open ruby source files.' Mysterious, shouldn't that be text/x-ruby. That is what i use, and what is found a lot on the web. In general i totally dislike the missings standards which require so many x- things, and that we have quite a lot of application/ things where this is not truly useful, say x-sh (doh), but x-awk, x-perl, x-java, and more of this sort. | Lines that begin with # are comments, not acted upon.
