In Sup, installed on a RHEL 5.1 with EPEL, using gems, when I select
f.ex. html attachments, I just get an error that view doesn't work and
I get the plain text. A quick grep in the code reveals this:

lib/sup/message-chunks.rb:      cmd = "/usr/bin/run-mailcap
--action=view '#{@content_type}:#{path}' 2>/dev/null"

I can't find run-mailcap on this RedHat installation. "yum
whatprovides" didn't help and the mailcap package had no such file
installed:

# rpm -ql mailcap
/etc/mailcap
/etc/mime.types
/usr/share/man/man4/mailcap.4.gz

Maybe run-mailcap a Debian/Ubuntu thing?  (I'll be back on my regular
ubuntu installation soon enough anyway, just using a lab machine right
now.) In Mutt I don't believe I did anything except use my default
.mailcap ...

Cheers.

It could very well be a Debianism. Is there a good alternative for
RedHat, or does Sup have to start manually parsing ~/.mailcap,
/etc/mailcap/, etc?

I just copied the script onto my box (rhel5.3) and it works fine.
Maybe a config knob for those that can't stick it in /usr/bin (or a
less hardcoded way of calling it to allow for $PATH).

For my Fedora 4 system, I found the run-mailcap script somewhere
(I forget where now, but I probably used Google to find it), and manually
installed it in /usr/bin.
