Package: mime-support
Version: 3.44-1
Severity: wishlist
[ Right now there is no way to use run-mailcap as filter --
even when $DISPLAY is unavailable it forces output to be paged. So ]
I think it could be handy if one could use
$ run-mailcap --action=cat $file
as canonical way to obtain $file's text/plain content on stdin.
My use-case is to put something like
[diff "astextplain"]
textconv = run-mailcap --action=cat
into ~/.gitconfig , and then something like
*.doc *.pdf *.xxx ... diff=astextplain
into .gitattributes
I'm sure there are other use-cases for this feature.
Thanks beforehand,
Kirill
