It is listed in STD1 (http://rfc.net/std1.html) as a proposed standard, and it is defined in RFC2397 (http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc2397.html). Ideally I think it should be handled by a simple switch program that pops up and asks what to do with it - which could be configured to always open in the browser, or always decode the file and reapply gnome-open, or decode and reapply gnome-open for some mime types while passing the url on for others. But starting the web browser as a program that lets you do other stuff with it is a reasonably sensible thing to do without needing major work - that can be configured in gconf anyway. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
