The MailcapHandler currently can't deal with positional arguments about purebred HOT 5 OPEN

Yeah. I'd like proper parsing of the mailcap format (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1524), and associated functions for preparing the subprocess given mailcap entry and body/part content.

Possibly belongs in a separate library but we can extract later if it seems useful.

I've actually changed the type to a function (see https://github.com/purebred-mua/purebred/compare/feat/430/mailcaphandler-can-work-with-positional-arguments) which gets me what I want. However I agree, that better support for the mailcap file is the better approach, so we don't have to add this manually.
Shall I put this into a separate feature request?

I'm giving a mailcap parser a shot. Named the package purebred-mailcap for obvious reasons...

@romanofski you should be able to reuse a bunch of the low-level parsers from purebred-email. Identify the useful subset and then we'll see if it makes sense to extract another package (purebred-parsing or whatever).

@frasertweedale yeah I'm already using it as a reference. Thanks for the pointer!
