Preston - not sure why this was assigned to us - please send to appropriate
person

The culprit is /usr/lib/mc/mc.ext: elm is started by the type/mail handler, that unfortunately matches a partial response of 'file' to the 'mail'
string, thus invoking elm instead of rpm on every package whose name contains the mail substring (happens with xmailbox, too).
I  am raising the priority since it is still not fixed.

Still present in beta 5 (Pinstripe)

can you guys hack up MC to fix this please dave?

The latest file and gmc package don't exhibit this behavior -- gmc tries to open
gnorpm if I hit Enter while the sendmail-cf package from the build tree is
selected.

Could you please check also mc (not gmc)? I have never used gmc.

Okay.  This should be fixed in rawhide now.  I removed the 'elm' command as it
was of debatable worth, anyway.
