+ To prevent security issues with shell metacharacters (symbols that have
+ special effects in a shell command line), ``findmatch`` will refuse
+ to inject ASCII characters other than alphanumerics and ``@+=:,./-_``
+ into the returned command line.
+
+ If a disallowed character appears in *filename*, ``findmatch`` will always

+ If such a character appears elsewhere (a value in *plist* or in *MIMEtype*),
+ ``findmatch`` will ignore all mailcap entries which use that value.
+ A :mod:`warning <warnings>` will be raised in either case.

+The deprecated mailcap module now refuses to inject unsafe text (filenames,
