Yes, how did you do that? I did that by creation of a .mailcap file here with the inclusion of the proper entry, but I could not do it inside the browser itself, which is a shame. :-( > Works here, but forces the download dialog to appear as well (though > that is a configurable item in edit->preferences.

Yes, that's a semi-solution to the problem, but I could find an extension to the browser somewhere with Google that makes it open things with the browser, but as I don't want to have extensions (I want here a pretty minimal environment), I'm using the mailcap hack. :-( Thanks, Rogério Brito. -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED],ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
