I was afraid you'd say that.  What about when I have procmail do lots of
clever things to decide if a message is spam and deliver to a different
maildir based on what it decides?  I wouldn't want to have to recode all
those procmail recipies as evo filters.

In exmh for example I can say go use metamail to decode it, and do some
magic with my .mailcap.  Granted, you need a way to discourage users from
"running" an msword file, but must that effect relatively harmless content
like a wav file?

I know this opens a big can of worms/virii/trojans, but the generalization
is mapping mime types to applications, whether the mailcap way or
via bonobo.

Oh well, I'll just content my self with bouncing on the d key.
