Subject: bug#52038: Completion for user mailcap entries
Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2021 14:03:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <864k842vh7.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 518 bytes --]

Hi all,

I added some entries to my ~/.mailcap like this (where the action part
is not relevant for this report):

  application/vnd.ms-excel; foo
  application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet; bar
  application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document; baz

In Gnus, I take a mail with an attachment (application/octet-stream) and
hit 'e' to view the MIME part externally.  When asked for 'View as MIME
type', I enter 'application/vnd<TAB>' and get the following completions:

[-- Attachment #2: mime.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 15852 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 190 bytes --]


Note the \ before the dots and I have to insert a backslash before I can
proceed with completion.  Is this the expected behavior?

This is Emacs 29.0.50 (c7699b9702) on Win10.

Best, Arash
