Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mutt

There is a mailcap entry for message/rfc822 using 'mutt -f'
This entry has probably its origin in 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=474539
This entry is wrong, because 
- message/rfc822 is a single mail message (header+body), not a mailbox (see 
RFC2046, 5.2.1)
- mutt -f can only handle mailboxes
- mutt complains when used with mutt -f message and exits
Affected are probably all recent versions of ubuntu, at least karmic and 
maverick.

To verify the problem:
- save message/rfc822 as message/rfc822 (you can do this with kmail, mutt 
itself will not save it
  as message/rfc822 but instead as mailbox)
- try to open it with mutt -f -> wont work

** Affects: mutt (Ubuntu)
