for `inode/directory`, it exits with the error message that you quoted.  Then
`xdg-open` apparently falls back to iceweasel.  But if you would call
`run-mailcap directly`, you would only have the error message.

Are you expecting something different from `run-mailcap` ?

Yes indeed.

Well shouldn't it call a browser or ls -l or ls or something.
How could they have forgot this case?
