Re: Bug#33210: So-called "remote exploit in pine" (fwd)

reassign 33210 metamail
-- 

Sorry, but unless pine is calling the "run-mailcap" program, there is no
bug in the "mime-support" package.  Instead, the problem is with the
package the specified said mailcap line under /usr/lib/mime/packages,
presumably "metamail" judging by the discussion.

All the mime-support packages does is collect the lines specified by other
packages to build a final /etc/mailcap file.
