Package: mime-support
Version: 3.35-1
Severity: normal

I just received some f**ing *.doc file from my friend, but thats a different
story.
So I was trying to open the *.doc file
of course first thing was:
$ see filename.doc
and I saw a blank screen. With two line of text in the bottom sayin:
"Could not find required program 'latex'
Could not translate into Postscript"
And I'm not reallly suprised with that because I don't have latex installed.

And take a look at this:
~$ see --debug=10 elen7b.doc 
 - parsing parameter "elen7b.doc"
 - Reading mime.types file "/home/emil/.mime.types"...
 - Reading mime.types file "/etc/mime.types"...
 - extension "doc" maps to mime-type "application/msword"
 - Reading mailcap file "/home/emil/.mailcap"...
 - Reading mailcap file "/etc/mailcap"...
Processing file "elen7b.doc" of type "application/msword" (encoding=none)...
 - checking mailcap entry "application/msword; wvMime '%s'; copiousoutput; 
description=Microsoft Word Document; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; print=wvWare 
--nographics -x /usr/share/wv/wvHtml.xml '%s' | lynx -dump -force_html -nolist 
/dev/stdin | print text/plain:-"
 - program to execute: wvMime '%s'
 - running test: test -n "$DISPLAY"  (result=0=true)
 - executing: wvMime 'elen7b.doc' | /usr/bin/see --action=view text/plain:-
~$ 

And I dont have crappy lynx. Why the hell it is trying to use not installed
programs for displaying this *.doc
I have OpenOffice, I have AbiWrod that can open *.doc
