Description Nils Kalchhauser 2003-03-12 04:15:02 UTC

I emerged Sylpheed the usual way (net-mail/sylpheed-0.8.9) but the ebuild does
not install any mime.types file under /etc or any other appropriatee place.
Without that file it does not open any attachement by itself, I always have to
specify an application by right-clicking on the attached file.

I added a mime.types to /etc myself, now there are no problems in Sylpheed. The
mime.types file which I use and which is also attached to this bug comes from an
old SuSE installation whereas I'm not sure which package has installed it there.

Maybe the mime.types file can just be included in the Sylpheed ebuild...

mime.types file from a SuSE installation

this mime.types file adds support for mime.types detection in Sylpheed. it
comes from an installation of SuSE

I was under the impression that mime-types is a dependency of sylpheed and sylpheed-claws.

We patch sylpheed to use the shared-mime-types package not the mime.types file
