Print MIME attachments?

Print MIME attachments?

It appears that it is possible to specify print commands in
~/.mailcap.  WIBNI Gnus offered a way to print an attachment?

Yes, it would.

Is there a standard (or "standard") that specifies the syntax of the
mailcap files, and what the semantics of the symbols are?

Um, from your mailcap.el:

;; Provides configuration of MIME media types from directly from Lisp
;; and via the usual mailcap mechanism (RFC 1524).  Deals with
;; mime.types similarly.

So RFC 1524 would be a good bet. :-)   It it is rather vague about some
things though.

Thanks; I've now installed it.  Hm...  Quite a few fields.  I think
"print" is the only interesting one.  Let's see if I can munge that
into Gnus somehow...

Well, it's Bill's mailcap.el.  So there.  :-)

Anyway, it already parses stuff like "print=" correctly, so I just
have to add a command on the MIME button to print out the part using
the command.
