This solution is only temporary work around. If update-mime program is run by installer, it may be overwritten. If you want to use partilcular program to handle HTML mime type, then you should read mailcap.order man page and set that file and run update-mime. This is better work around system wide. I think you can set HTML MIME handler in ~/.mailcap too. The real root cause fix is to get sensible-browser working. It is simple shell script. You can see it $ view $(which sensible-browser) Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
