Dear all,
I am pleased to report that the media-types and mailcap packages have
been accepted in Experimental.
They implement the split of the mime-support package into two components,
that I described in #964850.
If you are interested in that change, I would be happy if you could help
me by

Dear all,
I have uploaded an update of mime-support, to version 3.55. Among the most
visible changes:
- update-mime does not automatically quote anymore “%s” when collecting the
package-provided mailcap lines from /usr/lib/mime/package/. This may
reveal bugs with applications that did
recently discussed, and indeed mime-support in

I would be interested to have pointers to such projects.
