$ mimeview /dev/null
mimeview: cannot stat `/usr/share/cups/mime': No such file or directory
$ dlocate -F mime.types

$ mimeview --mimetypes /etc/mime.types k.mhtml
mimeview: /etc/mime.types:27: syntax error
Invalid character '7', state 0

$ mimeview -d --mimetypes /etc/mime.types k.mhtml
Segmentation fault

By the way, 27 is what? A line number? Doesn't seem right, along with
"7". I don't see that in /etc/mime.types .

I can confirm this error when using mimeview on a system where cups is
not installed. Because mailutils has no dependency on cups, this error
is easy to run into.
