Re[2]: auto-calling the right application depending on the doc-type

[Alexander Musidlowski <BabySinclair@gmx.at>]

IŽve got a similar problem. There are some jpg Files and some other
extentions, but all picture. If i want to open these files, Debian
always asks, which program to use to.
I installed GTKView and want it to be the default application for
pictures.
If I click at a html file, Debian knows, that he have to use Mozilla
to open file.

I don't know something about that, but I think it schouldn't be much 
work to write a script (in bash?) that looks on the doc-type and 
executes the dependig programm.
  The question is, for what do you need something like that?
