477+
The `mailcap <https://docs.python.org/3/library/mailcap.html>`__ package
478+
reads *mail capability* files to assist in handling a file attachment in
479+
an email. In most modern OSs the email client itself handles reacting to
480+
file attachments. Operating systems also have their own way to register
481+
handling files by their file name extension. Finally, the module has
482+
`CVE-2015-20107 <https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2015-20107>`__ filed
483+
against it while having no maintainer to help fix it.
