My Debian potato installation contains /etc/mailcap with:
image/jpeg; xv '%s'
My home dir contains ~/.mailcap with:
image/*; xv %s
The value of mailcap-mime-data contains the ~/.mailcap entry first,
and the /etc/mailcap entry after that.
When viewing a JPEG file, Gnus uses the /etc/mailcap entry.
Hm.
How are /etc/mailcap and ~/.mailcap supposed to interact? OT1H,
~/.mailcap should override /etc/mailcap, but OTOH, more specific
settings should override more general settings.
But somehow, this feels wrong. After all, I told it to use xv for all
kinds of images in my ~/.mailrc -- why should I have to specify each
image type separately?
Or maybe Gnus does use the first matching entry it finds, but searches
from the end of the list, rather than from the beginning?
