mailcap.rs

//! RFC 1524 mailcap, read the way mutt reads it for `auto_view`: a
//! `[filters]` entry with an empty command means "the command is in
//! my mailcap", and only a `copiousoutput` entry can answer, since
//! that is the one promising plain text on stdout rather than a
//! window of its own.
//!
//! The files are `$MAILCAPS` (colon-separated) when it is set, and
//! otherwise mutt's default list: `~/.mailcap`, `/etc/mailcap`,
//! `/usr/etc/mailcap`, `/usr/local/etc/mailcap`, in that order. The
//! first entry that matches a type wins, `text/*` wildcards included.
