I'm having trouble with mutt opening other applications for various mime
types.

I'm sure this worked last month, and from what I can see, I had
mutt-1.5.20-r18 and firefox-3.6.13.  I now have mutt-1.5.21-r1 and
firefox-3.6.15.

"mutt -nF /dev/null -Q mailcap_path" gives me:

mailcap_path="~/.mailcap:/usr/share/mutt/mailcap:/etc/mutt/mailcap:/etc/mailcap:/usr/etc/mailcap:/usr/local/etc/mailcap"

I have nothing for the tag "text/html" in my muttrc file.

I have "text/html; firefox %s" in my ~/.mailcap file.

I have the following in /etc/mailcap:

text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%s'; needsterminal;
description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html
text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -dump -force_html '%s'; copiousoutput;
description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html

and if I put "auto_view" in my muttrc file, it will try to open the
files with lynx.  Yet putting the firefox %s command into /etc/mailcap
doesn't open firefox.

All the docs I can find seem to indicates that what I have configured
should try to open firefox like it used to, but it isn't.  Is there
perhaps some type of "connecting package" that needed to be rebuild with
firefox for this to work?
