Subject: [sup-talk] missing run-mailcap

A further problem: I am currently unable to convince sup to run my ~/.mailcap entries for attachment 
(the mimetypes is properly identified).

Grepping in the sup directory, I see that it uses a /usr/bin/run-mailcap. I have not this in my linux 
system (archlinux), and I guess that it is something debian specific (I have not in my freebsd, 
and I do not remember to have seen it in my slackware system - not sure of this).
I do not know how mailcap is used here (mutt resorts to it fine).

Do you know where I could find run-mailcap?

Do not mind about this, I have been able to extract it from the debian package
and now it works

I don't have an actual answer for this, but if there's another option
for handling MIME attachments on your system, I'm happy to include it.
Run-mailcap was just what I had on hand at the time I was developing.
It doesn't exist on Macs either.

I'm just trying to avoid writing my own code to do this, since about a
million other people have written that code already, and since it's
pretty OS-dependent.

Do not mind, I am going to package a standalone run-mailcap for my
distro (it will be a sup depo when I find the time to package sup &
friends)
