Date: Mon, 21 Aug 1995 01:49:13 -0700 Message-ID: <587.808994953@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Netscape has the annoying property of not dealing with .au files by default, but its default "Helper Applications and Proxies" page simply refers to a file named: /usr/local/lib/netscape/mime.types A file with which it is not distributed. Anyone got any pointers to a sample version of such a file or, failing that, some clue as to what the syntax is? I checked the FAQ (hey, you're famous, Peter!) but it claims that .au files fall into the list of "built in" MIME types. If that's the case, why does it prompt me with a file requestor when I click on a .au sample? The same goes for MPEG videos, anims and pretty much all the other types that the Netscape FAQ claims are simply handled by default. Grrr! Jordan
