Bug#5221: metamail doesn't install properly



Package: metamail
Version: 2.7-12

When I tried to install this version of metamail, I get
lines that look like error messages, like
   /usr/sbin/install-mime: content-type must be explicit (no '*' allowed).

The help offered for the configuration questions promisses me that
I'll some time will be offered to select what GIF viewer to use.
I never get such a question.

On a different note, in elm, I would very much like to view
my Mime encaptulated emails with "less". I set my pager to
"less", but the old and new version completely ignore this suggestion.
I don't know whether this is intended or not, though.

If you would like any more info, please ask.
