Can't print MIME part

Can't print MIME part

[Kai Großjohann]

Hitting `p' on a MIME button produces this backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp ("application/pdf" (name . "Blatt 10 Aufgabe 2.pdf")))
  string-match("=\\?" ("application/pdf" (name . "Blatt 10 Aufgabe 2.pdf")))
  rfc2047-decode-string(("application/pdf" (name . "Blatt 10 Aufgabe 2.pdf")))
  mail-header-parse-content-type(("application/pdf" (name . "Blatt 10 Aufgabe 2.pdf")))
  mailcap-mime-info(("application/pdf" (name . "Blatt 10 Aufgabe 2.pdf")) "print")
  gnus-mime-print-part(nil nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-mime-print-part)

Is it a bug or (not unlikely) just me doing something stupid?

Fixed (I think).

Well, if you haven't defined a printer¹ for "application/pdf" in .mailcap
it won't do anything useful, of course.

¹ I hadn't :-)

Huh?  Yes, I haven't defined a printer for application/pdf.  But I
also don't have a printer for application/postscript, and I always
thought I could print those.  Hm.  But now that I consider, it seems
that I have never actually tried to print it.

I shall try.

You can ... if what you want to print is the Postscript source :-)

I added a couple of "print" entries to mailcap.el.  But they only take
effect if .mailcap doesn't define the MIME type.

Can you use :prescript with maildir?

[dave-mlist]

It doesn't work for me.  I have the following in my .gnus:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((maildir :path "~/mail/Incoming/"
					       :prescript "/path/to/script-that-fetches-into-maildir")))

And this results in the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument sequencep :path)
  gnus-read-active-file-1((maildir :path "~/mail/Incoming/" :prescript "echo 'poll a.mx.wuertele.com port 993 protocol IMAP username wuertele-com-test2 password fragfrag ssl' | fetchmail --nodetach -vv -n -f - -m '/usr/local/bin/maildir ~/mail/Incoming'") nil)

  gnus(nil)

It seems like it didn't like the :prescript being there after the path.

That's not valid -- you seem to be using mail-source syntax instead
of select method syntax.

OK... if I want to use a script to fetch mail into a maildir, then
read it with the maildir backend, how should I do that?

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnmaildir ""))

In the simplest case, the above might work.  There are probably other
parameters.  Look for the nnmaildir documentation for details.

I didn't find nnmaildir anywhere in my sources.  What version did
nnmaildir land on?
