I get the same result with Galeon, which is mozilla based.

Except that telnet://server isn't a mime type, it's a URL, which is 
different.  Mime types are used for handling attachements, URLs are 
for protocols.  

FWIW, I have a fully populated mime.types file under Galeon.  I did 
try creating a mime type:

application/telnet  'xterm -e telnet %s'

But that didn't work, since the URL isn't a Mime Attachment.

 If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!

I'm aware of that... the point being that Mozilla doesn't seem to
pre-configure much of anything that lets you communicate with other
formats/file types/protocols that it doesn't handle natively.  Kenny's
post was much more helpful.  :)
