setup and ~/.mailcap

[Lucien Saviot <lucien.saviot@u-bourgogne.fr>]

Hi,

Is there a good reason why each time setup is run some entries are added
at the begining of the user ~/.mailcap file?
This happen when openoffice is run for the first time AND when the
configuration is upgraded because a new version has been installed.

The openoffice.org-debian-files package provides much better mailcap
entries in a much better way.

When I remotely read my emails with mutt, I appreciate being able to
have a quick idea of what's inside MS Word documents. The wv package
provides good mailcap entries for this. The ~/.mailcap entries created
by the openoffice setup lacks the 'test=test " $DISPLAY" != ""' field
and therefore it breaks everything.

Moreover, if you've been using the debian openoffice packages for some
time, look at your ~/.mailcap file and you'll see how ugly it is. I have
an example here with 185 lines full of openoffice entries. If you happen
to force a new installation by removing ~/.sversionrc and ~/.openoffice,
then you'll get new lines in your ~/.mailcap even if the good
entries were already there.

Regards,

Lucien.
