There can be more tjan one line describing the same mime type. And what then? Solving this problem will be sorting content of /usr/lib/mime/packages by appropiate types, such as: /usr/lib/mime/packages/text-html/mozilla, content (example): x,/usr/bin/mozilla /usr/lib/mime/packages/text-html/links content: text,/usr/bin/mozilla And on that base update-mime can generate /etc/mailcap. Of course if they'd be more browsers it only can choose one, but in the present time it's the same. If there'd be a types tree like that making front-end will make sense, otherwise no. User'd choose a program from that directory structure. Regards, Marcin -- .---, --: mcINEK :-- / ,. \ ' T h e O w l s a r e n o t | | ; ; W h a t T h e y S e e m . . .
