Created attachment 57854 [details] [review] patch proposal Hi, currently, xdg-open uses run-mailcap if it's available on the system (checked with which command), and if it's a debian system (checked with /etc/debian_version). But copying run-mailcap from a debian system to a non debian linux system works fine. So maybe, the check for /etc/debian_version is not necessary. That would also for other distributions to use it and/or for someone to put the run-mailcap script in its path (which is what I'm currently doing).
I personally consider the use of legacy mailcap largely a hack, rather than trying other methods that follow xdg specs, see bug #45295 for example. before considering marking this wontfix, let's see how others feel... anyone else have an opinion here?
I guess no one else cares, but looks harmless enough. applied, http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/commit/?id=dc57720f8f9dbca412c132c6f8db9d6e0d6997de
