[New-bugs-announce] [issue45141] mailcap.getcaps() from given file(s)

[pacien]

New submission from pacien <vpmfty.pythonbugs at pacien.net>:

Currently, `mailcap.getcaps()` can only be used to load mailcap dictionaries
from files located at some specific hard-coded paths.

It is however also desirable to use the mailcap parser to load files located
elsewhere.

An optional parameter could be added to this function to explicitly specify
the mailcap file(s) to read.
