Actually, this should be a fairly simple fix even though .shtml is not one of the filetypes listed in Opera's Preferences. In The Bat!, right-click one of the .shtml icons and save it to your desktop (do not change the file extension!). Minimize the bat, then hold down shift and right-click the saved .shtml file on your desktop. An option to "Open with..." will be on the menu that appears. Click on "Open with...". Scroll through the list of programs that appears until you find "Opera" listed. Select "Opera", then check the box beside "Always use this program to open this type of file". Then click "OK". That's it! Opera should now be associated with .shtml files (you will probably have to close and re-open TB! before it will recognize the change, or you may even have to reboot your computer (I didn't, but this may be necessary in some cases)).

Hi, Marck, On Tuesday, March 20, 2001 at 01:55:17GMT + (which was 8:55 PM where I live) you wrote: snip MDP Not where the message is a mutlipart/mixed or type text/html. TB has MDP to make up a name for the html version of the message and uses the MDP extension which is the primary association for the MIME type in the MDP registry. As I mentioned in a different message - my system at work has a similar problem - the "extension which is the primary association for the MIME type in the registry" for me is .STM. Once I went into WinAmp and stopped its grabbing the .STM files - everything started working for me as far as double-clicking on the file is concerned. However, now I am curious: Where is this extension stored - how does TB determine it exactly? I searched my registry for .STM but pretty much the only place I found it was as defining it as a text/html type file - but so are .htm and .html. I would certainly prefer that the messages be called "message.htm" or "message.html" instead of "message.stm" as they are now. Interestingly, at home I also have IE 5.5 (but on win98se) and there, they are saved as message.html. -- Best regards, Leomailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.51 on Windows NT 4.0 Build 1381 Service Pack 5 -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

oi Marck! On Wednesday, March 21, 2001 at 17:16:37 GMT + (9:16 AM in Sacramento), waiting for another fragmented packet from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 's transmission we received was: LZ I am still looking for where this is in the registry. A search for LZ MIME turned up: LZ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\text/html LZ but the value under there for Extension is: ".htm" and I don't see LZ any .stm in sight. MDP I think you need to look in Explorer / Folder options / File types and MDP change the association there for WCT. What application makes .stm files? Is it M$ Outlook?

MDP I think you need to look in Explorer / Folder options / File types and MDP change the association there for WCT. For me, the association is for STM not for WCT - WCT was for Jim Riccardi. Also - I don't have a file association problem - .STM files when double-clicked correctly launch internet explorer which displays them just fine. However, I would prefer The Bat! to assign .htm or .html extension to the messages instead of this weird .STM - and also wonder just where this information is stored. Folder Options / File Types seems to be a subset of the information that's available through regedit - and it's harder to look for in File Types - since I don't have a "STM files" type or anything like that.

Hi, All! On Tuesday, March 20, 2001 at 15:35:01GMT -0500 (which was 3:35 PM where I live) Jim Riccardi wrote: JRJ On 20 Mar 2001, at 20:04, Marck D. Pearlstone wrote: That's not TB's fault. That's your browser being incorrectly installed - hence the strange .wct extension. The default extension for mime/html encoding is .wct instead of .htm or .html. That's not right at all. I have a very similar problem on my machine - for me, the files are being saved as "message.stm" - and stm is an extension associated with WinAmp. Is there a way short of reinstalling IE5.5 to fix the mime/html encoding default extension (or association)? Where is this information? I looked under file types in explorer and can't find anything relevant. Do I really have to go digging in the registry? Interestingly - except for the different browser (IE instead of Jim's Netscape) and different filename (message.stm instead of message.wct) we seem to be having the exact same problem.
