That's not a problem. There are plenty of hooks that override default behavior if they're present, but do nothing if not. The quoteline one Marcus just submitted is a good example. > Lots of systems don't have run-mailcap(1). Probably we should port it > and push it out as a gem that Sup depends on. If we want to make some kind of a mailcap-parsing gem, there's a Python version that is probably more directly portable: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-mailcap.html Ruby doesn't seem to have any mailcap library, so this would be a good contribution to the community, especially if it played nicely with MIME::Types. Of course, mailcap only gets you Unix systems. Or does OS X use mailcaps? I imagine for Windows you would need some hideous registry parsing thing that I'm not even close to writing... -- William <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
