I'm going to reassign this to mime-support. It should convert the TryExec key into a test condition for the mailcap entry. The mime entries that the Vim packages are installing do have this check: $ grep vim debian/vim-common.mime text/plain; view %s; edit=vim %s; compose=vim %s; test=test -x /usr/bin/vim; needsterminal; priority=4 text/*; view %s; edit=vim %s; compose=vim %s; test=test -x /usr/bin/vim; needsterminal; priority=2 Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
