RUN-MAILCAP(1) Run Mailcap Programs RUN-MAILCAP(1)
NAME
run-mailcap, view, see, edit, compose, print - execute programs via entries in the mailcap
file
SYNOPSIS
run-mailcap --action=ACTION [--debug] [MIME-TYPE:[ENCODING:]]FILE [...]
The see, edit, compose and print versions are just aliases that default to the view, edit,
compose, and print actions (respectively).
DESCRIPTION
run-mailcap (or any of its aliases) will use the given action to process each mime-
type/file in turn. Each file is specified as its mime-type, its encoding (e.g. compres-
sion), and filename together, separated by colons. If the mime-type is omitted, an
attempt to determine the type is made by trying to match the file's extension with those
in the mime.types files. If the encoding is omitted, it will also be determined from the
file's extensions. Currently supported encodings are gzip (.gz), bzip (.bz), bzip2
(.bz2), and compress (.Z). A filename of "-" can be used to mean "standard input", but
then a mime-type must be specified.
Both the user's files (~/.mailcap; ~/.mime.types) and the system files (/etc/mailcap;
/etc/mime.types) are searched in turn for information.
EXAMPLES
see picture.jpg
print output.ps.gz
compose text/html:index.htm
extract-mail-attachment msg.txt | see image/tiff:gzip:-
