--==========EC854131E557BE78C354========== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline I'm trying to understand the use of mailcap for MIME translation within a=20 mail client. I installed mail/metamail, which created a .mailcap file in=20 my home directory. That file appears to be a copy of the run-mailcap=20 script. But what does it do? It seems like it does nothing. What I'm trying to do is get the mail client to open an image viewer when I = double-click on a jpeg attachment. The mail client is designed to source=20 the mailcap file from /etc/, /usr/local/etc/ and from ~/.mailcap. What am I missing here? What's the best/proper way to do this?
