I had a similar situation this morning. I discovered that I didn't have an /etc/mailcap file. I had to install the mime-support package to get one. I then discovered that it was empty, aside from some comments. I then needed to run "update-mime" to fill out the /etc/mailcap file. Images now are opened with imagemagick. While it's probably better to set things up manually as you describe below, I found it quite easy to get set up by doing the above. I just don't know what was done, but I'm going back in to see what's in the mailcap file ;-) [..] > mailcap comes with a default entry for this (/etc/mailcap): > image/jpeg; display '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" > > Do if you have Image Magick installed, "display" will be used to display > images. You can, of course, change this to your favorite image viewer. [..] -- Mark Wagnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
