under a given directory. Typical usage would be to set an
"rclaptg" field, to be used in <filename>mimeview</filename> to
select a specific viewer. If several fields are to be set, they
- should be separated with a colon (':') character (which there
- is currently no way to escape). Ie:
- <literal>localfields= rclaptg=gnus:other = val</literal>, then
+ should be separated with a semi-colon (';') character, which there
+ is currently no way to escape. Also note the initial semi-colon.
+ Example:
+ <literal>localfields= ;rclaptg=gnus;other = val</literal>, then
select specifier viewer with
<literal>mimetype|tag=...</literal> in
<filename>mimeview</filename>.</para>
