For what it's worth, strings on my freebsd netscape shows up the following: /usr/local/lib/netscape/mime.types /usr/local/lib/netscape/mailcap %.900s/.mime.types %.900s/.mailcap Presumably the latter two indicate that it is checking the ~user/.netscape files too; i.e., user level override on system level settings. regards, Jim Binkley jrb@cs.pdx.edu
