Re: /etc/mime.types is ignored

Hi Kevin J. McCarthy,

oh this is embarrasing!  You're right of course.

Yes, but I also installed mutt 2.0 manually to /usr/local last fall
because there was no deb package yet.  Apparently the file mime.types
wasn't installed to /usr/local/etc/mime.types for an unknown reason.

I fixed my problem like this for now:
 ln -s /etc/mime.types /usr/local/etc/mime.types
But will switch to the buster-backports package soon.

So sorry for the unnecessary noise!
 Andy

$ mutt -v
Mutt 2.0.0 (2020-11-07)
Configure options: '--prefix=/usr/local'


I suspect you have two version of mutt installed.  Try running `which 
mutt` and see if it's finding another one in your path at 
/usr/local/bin.
