Bug#58174

[Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org>]

This bug is listed as important bug against metamail. I do wonder though if
it is important enough to warrant a removal. This bug has been reported
against mime-support originally. Since no bug in mime-support was found it
was re-assigned to metamail. The bug log says:

I've looked at the mailcap file and can't find any reason there why

I don't think bugs like this should slow down our release cycle at all. IMO
this bug should be downgraded to normal.

Comments anyone?

Michael
