hi, Ihor,

do you, or anyone else who might chime in, have a sense to what extent
"mainline emacs development" is committed to pushing the mailcap
solution?  and, to what extent are they running up against, and trying
to solve, problems similar to the ones you mention?

if "commitment + yes, trying", it might make sense to have, at least,
the *goal* of going mailcap.

my 2c.

cheers, Greg
