not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

  I've installed RedHat system with /etc/mailcap feature.
There is the line like 'image/*; ee %s'. So, it means that all
images are displayed through ee. Everything is OK when I have
ee installed on my system. But now, try to uninstall ee from
your system and try to display image in Gnus (by hitting enter
on attachment) and you'll see message like 'Displaying image ...'
and nothing more. What about warning/error message that there was
an error during running 'ee' or something like this? It will be
better than 'nothing'.
