Specifically, I'd like to be able to specify fallbacks for text/* and
application/* (and just point them to my editor). If I do this at the
moment, then of course the setting overrides everything in
/etc/mailcap, which isn't what I want.
I think that what you're asking would go against the directions of the RFCs.
Even if I change the behavion of run-mailcap, though, it may not help you as
many programs implement the processing of ~/.mailcap and /etc/mailcap in
their own code rather than calling my program. Thus, the operation of the
system would not be consistent as it would vary depending on what program
you're running.
OK. Is what I want to do stupid? If not, how do you think it is best
accomplished?
