(The name “mailcap” is derived from the phrase “mail capability”.) For example, a mailcap file might contain a line like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">video/mpeg;</span> <span class="pre">xmpeg</span> <span class="pre">%s</span></code>. Then, if the user encounters an email message or web document with the MIME type <em class="mimetype">video/mpeg</em>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">%s</span></code> will be replaced by a filename (usually one belonging to a temporary file) and the <strong class="program">xmpeg</strong> program can be automatically started to view the file.</p> <p>The mailcap format is documented in <span class="target" id="index-1"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1524.html"><strong>RFC 1524</strong></a>, “A User Agent Configuration Mechanism For Multimedia Mail Format Information”, but is not an internet standard.

Other possible values might be ‘compose’ and ‘edit’, if you wanted to create a new body of the given MIME type or alter the existing body data. See <span class="target" id="index-2"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1524.html"><strong>RFC 1524</strong></a> for a complete list of these fields.</p> <p><em>filename</em> is the filename to be substituted for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">%s</span></code> in the command line; the default value is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'/dev/null'</span></code> which is almost certainly not what you want, so usually you’ll override it by specifying a filename.</p> <p><em>plist</em> can be a list containing named parameters; the default value is simply an empty list. Each entry in the list must be a string containing the parameter name, an equals sign (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'='</span></code>), and the parameter’s value. Mailcap entries can contain named parameters like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">%{foo}</span></code>, which will be replaced by the value of the parameter named ‘foo’. For example, if the command line <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">showpartial</span> <span class="pre">%{id}</span> <span class="pre">%{number}</span> <span class="pre">%{total}</span></code> was in a mailcap file, and <em>plist</em> was set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">['id=1',</span> <span class="pre">'number=2',</span> <span class="pre">'total=3']</span></code>, the resulting command line would be <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'showpartial</span> <span class="pre">1</span> <span class="pre">2</span> <span class="pre">3'</span></code>.</p> <p>In a mailcap file, the “test” field can optionally be specified to test some external condition (such as the machine architecture, or the window system in use) to determine whether or not the mailcap line applies. <a class="reference internal" href="#mailcap.findmatch" title="mailcap.findmatch"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">findmatch()</span></code></a> will automatically check such conditions and skip the entry if the check fails.</p> <div class="versionchanged"> <p><span class="versionmodified changed">Changed in version 3.10.8: </span>To prevent security issues with shell metacharacters (symbols that have special effects in a shell command line), <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">findmatch</span></code> will refuse to inject ASCII characters other than alphanumerics and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">@+=:,./-_</span></code> into the returned command line.</p> <p>If a disallowed character appears in <em>filename</em>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">findmatch</span></code> will always return <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(None,</span> <span class="pre">None)</span></code> as if no entry was found.
