Another alternative to the old debian perl script "run-mailcap" in the AUR is , https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/run-mailcap-rs-git
Seems to be actively maintained, https://github.com/cglindkamp/run-mailcap-rs
PS: Interesting TIL, today I learned that
the Archlinux official package "mailcap" is a mandatory dependency for big names like Firefox and github-cli,
$ pacman -Qi mailcap
That "mailcap" package is not a tool or binary to run something. It is just text files and specifications.
$ pacman -Ql mailcap
The optional "tools" to work with this filethan can be used are things like this PKGBUILD "run-mailcap"

@terminalmage:
Thank for showing up and taking care of this package. I thought it was abandoned, looking at your activity maintaining other PKGBUILDs.
It might be for some users.
Although I might warn others that, as it happened to me, and, as I later found a warning in Archwiki, it can clash with xdg-open. It ends up leading to horrible orphan and zombie processess trying to open mailto: links etc. In the end I decided not to use it. And prefer other solutions more predictable, native and simple solutions to managing this horrible bazaar complexity of xdg/mailcap/mime etc.
Not to scare anyone, but here it goes, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Default_applications#Resource_openers
And study also, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xdg-utils

The package has been updated and the description clarified.
It is still a useful package, and it should not be deleted.

This is a very old PKGBUILD that references a obsolete 2014 Ubuntu version. It should be removed. It only confuses archlinux users looking for mailcap related tools.
There is no PKGBUILD "mime-support" anymore.
references a 2014, Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) version.
And leads to a non existing page,
As of 2022 there is no "run-mailcap" package in recent versions of Ubuntu. The only thing related to "mailcap" in Ubuntu is, according to, https://packages.ubuntu.com/ a package called "mailcap", https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy/mailcap
