Yeah, I know and I appologise. I haven't had a lot of time to work on
improving it (14 hour days at work). I hope to get the "package install"
script for "mailcap" done soon, but it won't be ready for the 1.1 release.
For now, please send me any additions you want made and I will release a
newer version with all of those.
As this is not strictly a bug, I am closing it.
