So I put the line video/*; totem %s into ~/.mailscap. Checking with run-mailcap shows it to be working as expected, but gnus continues to use mplayer. However, if I put video/quicktime; totem %s in there instead, all is well for that one type -- gnus uses totem for quicktime files (but, of course, mplayer for every other video type). The same happens if the line is in the /etc/mailcap "user section": video/* does not work but video/quicktime does. Is this as per design, or is it a bug? -- Ben.
