- # This is a sample mailcap file based on the sample mailcap file
- # contained in the metamail distribution (version 2.7) from Bellcore.
- # This sample is for a Unix system. Look at the original sample from
- # the metamail distribution for more ideas. This is a simplified version
- # to explain how it works with Pine. As of October, 1994, metamail was
- # available via anonymous ftp from the host thumper.bellcore.com in the
- # file /pub/nsb/mm2.7.tar.Z.

- # The mailcap viewers are used by Pine when viewing pieces of a message
- # from within the attachment viewer. That is, you type the "V" command
- # when already viewing a message.
- #
- # Pine expects the mailcap file to be in /etc/mailcap on Unix systems.
- # Users may override or extend this with a .mailcap file in their home
- # directory. The contents of that will be combined with /etc/mailcap.
- # Users may override this standard Pine mailcap path
- # ("~/.mailcap:/etc/mailcap") by defining the environment variable
- # MAILCAPS to be equal to the colon separated path.
- #
- # On PC's (DOS or Windows) the file MAILCAP is searched for first in the
- # same directory where the user's PINERC is located and then in the same
- # directory where PINE.EXE is located. The first would be the user's personal
- # override file and the second the common file used by all users. Users
- # may override this location by defining the environment variable MAILCAPS
- # to be equal to the *semicolon* separated path.
- #
- # Pine does not use the "compose=" portion of mailcap entries (and doesn't
- # provide a general method of composing different types of messages).
- # Pine doesn't pay attention to "copiousoutput", but always pipes the output
- # to its standard scrolling text window if "needsterminal" is not set.
- # If "needsterminal" is set, then Pine sets the terminal or terminal window
- # back to the state it was in when Pine was started and lets the viewer run.
- # When the viewer finishes, Pine resets the terminal and redraws the screen.
- # If any user interaction with the viewer is required and the viewer runs
- # in the same terminal window as Pine, then "needsterminal" should be set.
- # The "test=" commands are used as defined in RFC1524, except that the
- # data file is not available to the test command.
- #
- # Since mailcap is only used from the attachment viewer, the message being
- # viewed will always be a single part, so "multipart" entries in mailcap have
- # no effect on Pine. Type "text/plain" with "charset=usascii" or charset
- # matching the character-set variable are intercepted and displayed by Pine
- # in the normal way, not displayed by a mailcap viewer. Besides those
- # exceptions just listed, all other types and subtypes are subject to
- # being displayed by a mailcap viewer. If no match is found for types text
- # or message, Pine will display them in its usual way.
- #
- # As a special case, the "image-viewer" variable from the pinerc file is
- # supported as if an extra entry for type image/* came first in the
- # personal mailcap file. That's for backwards compatibility.
- #
- #
- # The following line causes the xv program to be used to display all
- # image types if the DISPLAY variable is set (indicating the user is
- # using X). (xv is written by John Bradley, bradley@cis.upenn.edu. There
- # are also other X image viewer programs you could use, such as xloadimage.)

- # The effect of the following is to send ALL audio subtypes to the

- # script included in the metamail distribution.)
