I'm also having apparently related problems. In my .mailcap I have

application/zip;unzip -v %s | $PAGER -S

which gives me the directory of a zip pile. With dev.8 I get

| Getting file://localhost/home/ismael/Mail/qwkp9811.zip
| unzip -v %s | $PAGER -S
| unzip:  cannot find %s, %s.zip or %s.ZIP.

In my .mailcap I have

application/man;$PAGER %s

which reads manpages through less ($PAGER). With dev.8 I get

| Getting file://localhost/home/ismael/Mail/terminfo.man.gz
| $PAGER %s
| %s: No such file or directory
 
In my .mailcap I have

application/x-tar; tar -tvf %s | $PAGER -S

which gives me the directory of tar files (after lynx gunzips them). With
dev.8 I get

| Getting file://localhost/home/ismael/openssl.tar.gz
| tar -tvf %s | $PAGER -S
| tar: can't open %s : No such file or directory
 
The problem happens with dev.8 compiled with both slang-1.4.2 and
ncurses-5.1-20000826. The problem is worst with ncurses because the previous
screen becomes garbage and I have to restore it with ^L.

I'm using FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE.
