Hello,

	I've just upgraded to Fedora14 and metamail was recovered from
	an old version :

metamail-2.7-28                               Sun Oct 24 09:36:13 2010
libtermcap-2.0.8-46.1                         Sun Oct 24 09:33:53 2010
sharutils-4.10-1.fc14                         Sun Oct 24 09:07:55 2010

	Some interesting infos :

Summary     : A program for handling multimedia mail using the mailcap file.
Description :
Metamail is a system for handling multimedia mail, using the mailcap
file.  Metamail reads the mailcap file, which tells Metamail what
helper program to call in order to handle a particular type of
non-text mail.  Note that metamail can also add multimedia support to
certain non-mail programs.

Metamail should be installed if you need to add multimedia support to
mail programs and some other programs, using the mailcap file.
