Hi: mailcapstuff.tar.gz is just a regular tar.gz file, it's not a slackware tgz package (I wish they'd picked some other file extention even if they'd kept the same format). You just unpack it in your home directory and you're set. Note that you'll probably want to look at .mailcap in particular to check that the programs you want used are being called. Oh yeah the 2 files are .mailcap and .mime.types (note the leading dot). You have to use the -a switch to ls for these to show up in regular directory listings.
