> How does Mozilla 0.9.5 know what application to use for opening > non-HTML documents? Mozilla 0.9.5 uses the /etc/mailcap file to handle file types it can't handle itself. If xpdf is before acroread for the 'application/pdf' MIME type, it will use xpdf to open it. Editing the /etc/mailcap file and restarting Mozilla will let you control this. The man page for update-mime discusses using /etc/mailcap.order to acheive this, but I'm not sure what the advantage is over editing the /etc/mailcap file directly. Chris -- Christopher S.
