Public bug reported:
Hello; when I try to view PDFs from mutt, gimp is selected. Gimp is a
very poor choice for viewing PDFs. I have evince installed, but evince
is listed after gimp in my /etc/mailcap file. I tried to fix this by
using the /etc/mailcap.order file but this failed:
$ grep application/pdf /etc/mailcap
application/pdf; gimp-2.10 %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
application/pdf; evince %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
$ cat /etc/mailcap.order

# Mailcap.order: This file allows a system-wide override of MIME program

# After modifying this file, be sure to run /usr/sbin/update-mime (as root)
# to propagate the changes into the /etc/mailcap file.

evince:application/pdf
$ sudo update-mime
Warning: package evince listed in /etc/mailcap.order does not have mailcap
entries.
$ dpkg -L evince | grep -i mailcap
$
Thanks
