Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.3i
Severity: normal
-- Please type your report below this line
When mutt sees an attachments of type "application/whatever",
it reports incorrectly that this attachment cannot be viewd, without
even checking the appropriate mailcap file along mailcap_path.
Changing "application/whatever" to "image/whatever" makes the problem
disappear, so it's clearly a problem with the use of TYPEAPPLICATION
in the source code.
How to reproduce:
$ tm1=/tmp/temp.mailbox.$$.1
$ tm2=/tmp/temp.mailbox.$$.2
