Package: mime-support
Version: 3.54
Severity: wishlist
The mailcap(5) man page shows %s in commands unquoted,
text/plain; cat %s; copiousoutput
but run-mailcap passes filenames with spaces straight to such a command
touch '/tmp/x x.txt'
run-mailcap --action=cat '/tmp/x x.txt'
=>
cat: /tmp/x: No such file or directory
cat: x.txt: No such file or directory
Should mailcap(5) advise quoting like '%s' in commands? Or should
run-mailcap avoid passing spaces?
I see most mailcaps in debian have '%s'. RFC 1524 shows without but
perhaps it was conceived for temp files of mail parts rather than
arbitrary files.
