It depends on which desktop environment you're using. If you're using KDE,
open up the control center, go to KDE Components, File Associations, and
look for the rm mime type. If you're using Gnome, there's probably some
configuration tool that does that (sorry, but I don't use Gnome, so I don't
know). If you're using Fluxbox, BlackBox, or some other, then I'm also at
a loss.
Hope that helps,
Justin
