If you use cygwin, take a look at my .mailcap entry below:
application/vnd.ms-excel; //N/PROGS/OFFICE97/Office/excel.exe `cygpath --windows %s`;
copiousoutput
application/zip; cp %s .
text/html; "//C/Program\ Files/Netscape/Communicator/Program/netscape.exe" `cygpath
--windows %s`
Just add a new line starting with "application/vnd.ms-xxx" in place of
text/html.
Hope that helps.
