	   obsolete	MIME compliant
	   :type "TEXT"	:content-type "text"
	   :type "GIF"	:content-type "image/gif"
	   :type "TIFF"	:content-type "image/x-tiff"
	   :type "PS"	:content-type "application/postscript"
	   :type "WSRC"	:content-type "application/x-wais-source"
	   :type "MIME"	:content-type "message"

excuse the novice question, but doesn't x-tiff and x-wais-source imply that
a particular program (running on an X Windows display) is to be called?

how do you support other platforms?
