Hi Daniel -
You aren’t missing anything, this should work in a working install.
mailcap-format-command is an obsolete command in FLIM. In my install
of flim (flim package in Ubuntu karmic) this function is found in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/flim/attic/mailcap.el and is not loaded by
default. Nonetheless I can view files.
From your User-Agent:
User-Agent: Wanderlust/2.15.9 (Almost Unreal) REMI/1.14.3 (Matsudai)
FLIM/1.14.9 (Gojō) APEL/10.7 Emacs/23.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) MULE/6.0
(HANACHIRUSATO)
From mine:
User-Agent: Wanderlust/2.15.6 (Almost Unreal) SEMI/1.14.6 (Maruoka)
FLIM/1.14.9 (Gojō) APEL/10.7 Emacs/22.2 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) MULE/5.0
(SAKAKI)
You seem more up-to-date than me, except for REMI. This seems to be an
old variant of SEMI. Could you check your install of SEMI? It seems
strange that you have this old SEMI variant.
best,
Erik Hetzner
