I'm using the suggested mailcap file with a test script, the following
'process' script:

#!/bin/sh
KEYHEADS='*' \
MAILCAPS='/home/mario/tmp/test/ifile.mailcap' \
metamail -d 2>&1

Then I launch: 'cat spam.txt | ./process'

So I receive this above error! :(

If I do: 'cat spam.txt | metamail' the /etc/mailcap was used so it launch
'links'. :P
If I put my mailcap in my home directory as '.mailcap' and launch 'cat
spam.txt | metamail' this is the output:

"........[CUT]..............

This message contains 'image/jpeg'-format data.
Do you want to view it using the 'echo' command (y/n) [y] ? "

If I answer with 'y' I receive the error:

"---Executing: echo
encodedinlinedimagejpegBroken pipe"

I tried with many other mails with html+images and the result is the same!
