Package: mime-support
Version: 3.54
/etc/mailcap is generated by /usr/sbin/update-mime from files in
/usr/lib/mime/packages. Currently, update-mime adds single quotes
around %s entries.
Well-behaved clients of /etc/mailcap already protect spaces, quotes,
etc., in file names.
For example the flim emacs package calls `shell-quote-argument' when
formatting the file name. Mutt also does the `right thing'.
The consequence is that if soemone sends me an attachment called
"fred's docs.pdf" mutt invokes xpdf 'fred\'s\ docs.pdf` which
correctly quotes the embedded quotation mark, but adds an extra level
of quoting to the space.
Please can this behaviour be fixed? It's probably best not to have
quotation marks around %s in /etc/mailcap, and make all mailcap
clients do proper quoting.
I'm aware of #723708 and #745141 --- which confuses me
This is my suggested patch.
