Netscape mime-types

[Marcio Rosa da Silva <marcio@exatas.unisinos.br>]

Hi all!

Last week I made an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and my Netscape
changed from 4.73 to 4.75.

Since then, when I try to open a text file nothing happens. When I try to
open a JPEG or GIF image it uses xv to show the image.

I doesn't like this behavior because when I see a JPEG file and want to
save it after viewing it, I have to choose the quality of the image, but I
want to keep the original one. The other problem is that sometimes I need
to open text files with netscape.

I tried to change the /etc/mailcap file but in this case it will affects
all applications.

I also tried to remove the types from netscape preferences but it doesn't
work.

How can I have netscape opening text files and images without affecting
other applications?

Thanks!

Marcio
