Bug#39166: application/mac-binhex40 mailcap handler doesn't do the right thing
Package: macutils
Version: 2.0b3-7
The mailcap entry for 'application/mac-binhex40', added by macutils
postinst, is
application/mac-binhex40; /usr/bin/hexbin '%s'; needsterminal; \
description=BinHex encoded Macintosh file; nametemplate=%s.hqx
For one, that should be 'hexbin -v' instead of just 'hexbin'.
Secondly, it doesn't actually seem to work for me. Given an email
like so:
<apharris@burrito:tmp> show 1839
(Message DELETE:1839)
part 1 text/plain 18
Press <return> to show content...
part 2 application/mac-binhex40 37K
Press <return> to show content...
This message contains BinHex encoded Macintosh file.
Do you want to view it using the 'hexbin' command (y/n) [y] ?
---Executing: hexbin
But then --- no file is actually produced!!
