Package: exmh
Version: 1:2.7.2-7
Severity: normal

Hi!

It seems that exmh doesn't understand the Debian format of /etc/mailcap,
which is best explained via example:

/etc/mailcap:
audio/mpeg;     beep-media-player '%s'; nametemplate=%s.mp3; test=test 
"$DISPLAY" != "" 

Would lead exmh to try to start 

This is MPEG Audio
It can be displayed with
"nametemplate=/tmp/waldner/1.0=1=2.20424.exmh.mp3".

If I, however, mangle /etc/mailcap to _not_ contain any "nametemplate"
entries and place it in ~, exmh works as expected - which is what I
recommend as a workaround until this is fixed.

Funny thing is that the nametemplate issue should be already fixed since
1998 according to
http://mercea.net/~exmh/html/exmh-workers/1998-11/msg00011.html - "It
also adds a sanity check so that entries that read nametemplate=%s will
be ignored. " - seems like this got lost along the way ;)

cheers,
&rw
