	If we ask for a file (that is, if the link points to the file)
 x.html.gz, then you are right, the mailcap stuff should work. If,
 however, the link points to x.html, and there _is_ no x.html, just
 x.html.gz, than mailcap does *not* give us the data. Is this not the
 problem? 

	The server, however, can do this, as people have pointed out.
