  	  Dear Kumar Appaiah, can you be a little more specific? 
	  I have looked at /etc/mailcap in my new squeeze, and also
	  at the mailcap in my backup of my etc etc.  They seem to be
	  different files.  I have greped "new-tab" in both and 
	  it isn't to be found,

	  However, I greped mutt in /etc/mailcap, and I found the line
message/rfc822; mutt -Rf '%s'; edit=mutt -f '%s'; needsterminal
	I don't dare monkey with this! unless I am granted permission
	by Higher Authority(initials:  K.A.)

Please straighten me out!  TIA,

Alan the Timid
