severity 647272 normal thanks I have also just bitten by this bug (also from Mutt).
Antoine Beaupré is correct in his last message. This seems to be at least ignoring policy. Even if one wants to argue that this is not a violation, this is much more than a wishlist bug: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-mime http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/mime-policy/ Josselin: If you don't *like* the mailcap or the current state of Debian's MIME policy, you should work on changing the technology or the policy. It's clear you don't want fix mailcap. Fine. But you can't just ignore the policy. Unilaterally changing your package so that it breaks the expected and long-term behavior of a series of very widely used packages like mutt and elinks assume that the policy as written is being followed is a bug in *this* package. Until the policy changes, the .mime files should be restored.
