I don't know whether that's settled down by now, but if it's > still the case, The mailcap standard (RFC 1524) is clear: mailcap files shouldn't have quotes -- which is why Gnus does the quoting, as you note. I think you're right, though, that a few systems (Debian, AFAIK) for unfathomable reasons flatly refuse to follow the standard and ship broken mailcap files. -- Jesper Harder
