Dear mentors, The Debian mime policy requires packages register through update-mime, which according to its manpage uses /etc/mailcap and /usr/lib/mime/packages. However, I noticed the /usr/share/mime and /usr/share/mime-info directories that also seem to contain relevant informations.
Is there a documentation somewhere that explains what is necesary and sufficient to be done so that a Debian package provides MIME support that "just works" ? Basically the goal is that the relevant program will be used by mail readers and web browsers. Also, if there are two such programs installed, is there something that can be done through MIME so that the user has a chance to chose the program ? Or will it be a "last installed is the default" situation, like with the alternative system ?
