Ah. /etc/mailcap was full of "image/jpeg", "image/png", etc. using eeyes (which I btw haven't installed). > I hate this. No, the behaviour doesn't seem logical. Is this behaviour mandated by the mailcap RFC? Is it the practice of other programs using the mailcap file (eg. Netscape)? Or is it just the MIME library used by Gnus? If it is the latter, perhaps one should file a bug report? > Workaround: put image/gif, image/png, ... in .mailcap. I put "image/jpeg; /usr/bin/xzgv %s" in ~/.mailcap, did `M-x mailcap-parse-mailcaps RET', and then `2 K v' on the article, and the Oort showed up in xzgv. Thanx! :-)
