It does
not describe the mailcap format. There are plenty of documents on the Web that
does this. Google and thou wilt find. ;)</p><div class="section" title="A Short Intro to Mailcap"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="idp6727984"></a>A Short Intro to Mailcap</h2></div></div></div><p>Mailcap is a file format defined in RFC 1524. Its purpose is to inform
multiple mail reading user agent (MUA) programs about the locally-installed
facilities for handling mail in various formats. It is designed to work with
the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, known as MIME.</p><p>ELinks allows MIME handlers to be defined using its own configuration system,
so why support mailcap? It can be seen as an alternative or simply as a
supplement for setting up MIME handlers in ELinks.  Mailcap files are present
on most UNIX systems—usually in /etc/mailcap—so this makes it possible for
ELinks to know how to handle a great variety of file formats with little
configuration. To be able to use mailcap, it has to be compiled into ELinks.
This is the default. If you don't need mailcap support, just configure ELinks
with the flag: --disable-mailcap.</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch09s02.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch10s02.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Setting up elinks.conf </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Parameters to Mailcap Entries</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
