why does mutt ignore /etc/mailcap??
Hello!
since some time now i notice that i can't anymore open images send by
mail directly from mutt, not so bothersome since this doesn't happen very
often, but still annoying...
the images have the correct mime-type in the mail, corresponding lines
are in /etc/mailcap and ~/.mailcap even, but still, mutt claims for
unrecognized type, displaying as text....
in /etc/mailcap are a lot of lines for e.g. image/jpeg but that
shouldn't trouble the thing, doesn't it?
can it be that mutt doesn't find anymore the mailcap files??
funny thing... writing up the problem, also give a clue for the
problem...
seems that was indeed the problem...
adding:
set mailcap_path="~/.mailcap:/etc/mailcap"
to my muttrc solved the problem...
but why are those settings no more a default???
