|
|
i'm having trouble opening attachments from sylpheed, i.e. they don't "Open". i can "Open With..." and specify the application name which successfully opens the document in that application. what am i missing?
ps: i don't use any desktop environment! i startx i3.
i posted in this sub-forum, as i'm unsure this fits any other sub-forum. please feel free to move this thread. _________________ "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell." Edward Abbey

I don't use sylpheed but can help "How Sylpheed handles attachments"? _________________ Questions are guaranteed in life; Answers aren't. |

thank you fedeliallalinea. i don't seem to have this problem in debian or arch. i didn't need to manipulate any mime files.
just had a look: app-misc/mime-types is installed, but app-misc/run-mailcap is not installed. i wonder if the latter is needed? _________________ "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell." Edward Abbey |

Code: | $ eix mailcap
* app-misc/run-mailcap
Available versions: 3.39_p1 ~3.52_p1
Homepage: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/mime-support
Description: Execute programs via entries in the mailcap file |
Code: | $ sudo emerge app-misc/run-mailcap
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "app-misc/run-mailcap".
emerge: searching for similar names...
emerge: Maybe you meant any of these: app-misc/mtail, app-misc/rlwrap, app-misc/crunch? |
