Re: lynx, pine, metamail...(mailcap&mime.types) netbase?

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

So far Andrew, your lynx, my pine, someones metamail ;-) and possibly 
Peter's netbase/netstd packages are at least involved in this question. 
If Peter will agree to install it in one of those two packages, we can 
remove it from our installations. Peter is that acceptable?

I'm ready to rip it out of pine, but don't want to orphan it. I assume 
that when these files are moved to netbase/netstd that we will need to 
make our packages depend on it/them. Peter, let us know what you think!
