Okay, I overspoke -- yes, there is that limited capability. But I can't look at the MIME type, and I can't search for file types.

For example, my system has an entry called "Application," but I can't search for "exe." And for that entry, the pull-down options are "Always ask" and "Save file."

For another example, the entry "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 document" doesn't mention "pdf" anywhere, and I can't search to see if SM knows how to handle PDFs or needs me to tell it. For that file type, the pull-down options are "Always ask," "Save file," "Use Acrobat 8.2 (default)," "Use Acrobat 8.2," "Use Acrobat 8.2 (in SeaMonkey)," "Use other...," and "Application details..." The last one pulls up a dialog that tells me "The following applications can be used to handle Adobe Acrobat 7.0 document content," and lists Adobe Acrobat and tells me the directory containing its executable.

Some file types do show the MIME type, as in your screenshot, but most do not. And in any event, that isn't editable.

It all has a very M$ kind of feel -- we won't tell you what we don't think you should know.
