But its meaning is common to all. It affects generally all programs that uses /etc/mailcap. For testing can be used (ie Debian) commands such as run-mailcap, see, print, compose,... The truth is that the file location is apparently a matter of packaging == distribution specific. I just now looking into the packages and kpdf-trinity and kedit-trinity. That differ not only in the location: /usr/lib/mime × /opt/trinity/lib/mime, but also /usr/share/menu × /opt/trinity/share/menu, /usr/share/doc/kedit-trinity × /opt/trinity/share/doc/kpdf-trinity. Obviously it is a mess. :) Slavek --
