Thanks for the great news ! I did not realise before. > I'm surprised hearing that priority values exist in mailcap, and PDFs > still open in Calibre. I had thought it just used alphabetical ordering. Quick answer: mailcap priority values, which might be an extension specific to Debian, are explained in update-mime(8). But many mailcap entries are generated from Desktop files, which can not contain priority values. As a consequence of the current Policy that "packages already using desktop entries should not use the mailcap system directly", mailcap files are being removed from packages, causing priority information to be lost. I do not necessarly disagree with the Policy. The more packages Debian has, the harder it would be to coordinate priority settings at this level anyway. The best solution will be to improve mailcap so that it can find the FreeDesktop information where it is, or to add an additional configuration file that provides robust system-wide defaults. I will go ahead with the splitting of the mime-support package to facilitate that work. Please do not hesitate to ping me if I am too slow: I still am very limited in the amount of free time I have in front of the computer.
