Using galeon as html-viewer in the mailcap doesn't work properly when
galeon is already running. It then exits immediately, so the tmp file gets
removed before galeon had loaded it.
It would be nice if galeon could wait for the given page to load before
exiting.

masschange ganeral -> galeon-maint@bugzilla.gnome.org (which is currently me)

sorry for the spam

This sounds extremely difficult to fix. 
An alternative might be to have a new command line option --copy-and-open, which
creates a temporary copy of the file (and dependant files?) and starts to open
the new window/load the page then returns.

Galeon has not seen any code changes since May 2010:

This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived in GNOME Git.

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone
takes the responsibility for active development again.
