I noticed on my Fedora Core 4 system that the mailcap files were never
updated with all the various Gnome applications. Instead, they put
the information about what mime types they handle in .desktop
applications in /usr/share/applications. Here's a first cut at
parsing these files.
Right now, I'm using
(desktop-entry-add-entries "/usr/share/applications")
to add mailcap-mime-data entries for everything in there. I think
something like this should make its way into Gnus, so I'm interested
in how people think I should integrate it. I also think that the
Freedesktop .keys and .mime files should also be parsed for their
mime-type info, but I haven't had a need for that yet.
An alternative would be to create a mailcap from these files, but
mailcap seems to be an endangered species.
