Subject: [sup-talk] mailcap for os x
Message-ID: <1196351498-sup-4803@spooky.local>

run-mailcap(1), which sup uses to view attachments, doesn't exist on OS X.

I used the mime-decode hook to monkey patch Attachment.view! to also use the mime-decode hook. A case statement works as a pretty good replacement for my simple .mailcap.

view_attachment[1] uses file(1) to figure out what an attachment's extension should be, before passing it to open(1). For quicklook I went another way, converting from the MIME type to the OS X UTI[2] using mime2uti, an ugly little program I made.

It's messy, but seems to work for my attachements.
