Subject: Unable to change mailcap entry.
Date: 23 Apr 2000 21:33:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ltzoqkqo3v.fsf@asfast.com> (raw)
I'm using the latest (or near-latest) CVS gnus.
For the first time in a couple weeks or so, I tried to view a MIME
image (image/jpeg) that was sent to me ... but now, gnus is trying to
use `ee' as the viewer. I don't have `ee' and have always used
`display' or `xv' for image viewing in the past.
I'd like to handle this from within `.gnus.el', and so I put the
following into that file:
(require 'mailcap)
(mailcap-add-mailcap-entry "image" "jpeg"
'((viewer . "xv %s")
(type . "image/jpeg")))
... but this has no effect.
The only `mailcap' file on my system is `/etc/mailcap' and it contains
the following entry:
image/*; /usr/local/bin/display %s
There is no reference to `ee' anywhere on my system except within the
`mailcap.el' gnus source file (it's within an entry in the
`mailcap-mime-data' assoc).
What can I put into `.gnus.el' to force gnus to override `ee' as the
image viewer?
Thanks in advance.
