Description: Debian's mailcap system, and support programs
The mailcap system associates media types with programs that can handle them,
using system and user configuration files. A file's media type is determined
by its extension or by running the "file" command if available.
.
Other packages register their programs as viewers/editors/composers/etc by
placing mailcap entry files or FreeDesktop menu entries in predetermined
directories monitored by this package's dpkg triggers.
.
This package provides a "run-mailcap" program to open arbitrary files, and in
addition the "see", "edit", "compose", and "print" aliases to display, alter,
create, and print (respectively).
.
This package also provides the "debian-view" utility to handle Debian packages
interactively.
