This doesn't seem right. With Fedora 13:

$ yum info mailcap

Description : The mailcap file is used by the metamail program.  Metamail reads
            : the mailcap file to determine how it should display non-text or
            : multimedia material.  Basically, mailcap associates a particular
            : type of file with a particular program that a mail agent or other
            : program can call in order to handle the file.  Mailcap should be
            : installed to allow certain programs to be able to handle non-text
            : files.
            : 
            : Also included in this package is the mime.types file which
            : contains a list of MIME types and their filename "extension"
            : associations, used by several applications e.g. to determine MIME
            : types for filenames.

$ yum --enablerepo=* list metamail
Error: No matching Packages to list

$ yum --enablerepo=* provides */metamail

Certainly, mailcap is used by programs other than metamail. But the
description seems to imply that metamail is the primary user. So, where
is metamail?
