Here's how my .mailcap file looked originally, before I modified it:
-e
# Java Web Start
application/x-java-jnlp-file;
/home/anorton/downloads/jdk1.5.0_12/jre/bin/javaws %s
--
I've attached the output of dpkg -l | grep '^i'.

Brian,
The very first line contained '-e' by itself. Deleting that fixed the problem.

Public bug reported:
The default .mailcap file installed with Ubuntu has a spurious "-e" on
the first line. This causes a java NullPointerException on my machine
when running certain applications that send SMTP email.
Output of lsb_release -rd:
Description:Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:8.04
