Thanks for maintaining this PKGBUILD.

Interesting tool as an alternative to the very old "run-mailcap" Debian perl script.

I havent tried it yet, because I dont want to download megabytes of Rust/Cargo just compile it.

Seems to be actively maintained, https://github.com/cglindkamp/run-mailcap-rs

2023-12-02 Christian Glindkamp I [master] {origin/master} {origin/HEAD} Handle errors better and provide an exit

This is rewrite of run-mailcap in Rust.
Why a rewrite?
~~Run-mailcap seems to be unmaintained at least on Gentoo, so .........

Why not using xdg-open?
Run-mailcap has multiple advantages over xdg-open........
....
A mailcap file on the other hand is simple text file.........

Unfortunatly the developer hasnt yet released a binary on github.

That would make it possible to create an AUR PKGBUILD "run-mailcap-rs-bin".

I'll try to request that from the developer.
