As it is, programs registered in mime-support are not used from firefox, evolution, epiphany, nautilus, rox-filer and konqueror. Thus your solution is inadequate, because these programs do not use your solution (there is no bug filed against them to do so, and if there was, we would have a good laugh and close it). > As a package maintainer, you're going to have to support some things you > don't like. Maybe you want to maintain all these programs instead of their respective maintainers, and replace a modern MIME system with decent support for aliases, subtypes, defaults by a system that requires you to write overly long files in an obscure language - but that works with mutt. -- .''`.
