I forgot to say, but many mailcap may have a security hole (in part due to a security hole in Firefox, known for several years but still unfixed). See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=429052 for instance. I did the exploit (based on some example reported by someone else in the Mozilla's Bugzilla) with Mutt and the system mailcap from Debian. So, modifying the mailcap file also requires security knowledge. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
