emacs-mime: mailcap

 
 4.12 mailcap
 ============
 
 The ‘~/.mailcap’ file is parsed by most MIME-aware message handlers and
 describes how elements are supposed to be displayed.  Here’s an example
 file:
 
      image/*; gimp -8 %s
      audio/wav; wavplayer %s
      application/msword; catdoc %s ; copiousoutput ; nametemplate=%s.doc
 
    This says that all image files should be displayed with ‘gimp’, that
 WAVE audio files should be played by ‘wavplayer’, and that MS-WORD files
 should be inlined by ‘catdoc’.
 
    The ‘mailcap’ library parses this file, and provides functions for
 matching types.
 
 ‘mailcap-mime-data’
      This variable is an alist of alists containing backup viewing
      rules.
 
    Interface functions:
 
 ‘mailcap-parse-mailcaps’
      Parse the ‘~/.mailcap’ file.
 
 ‘mailcap-mime-info’
      Takes a MIME type as its argument and returns the matching viewer.
