On a similar line, would it be too much to ask to have browser writers for
non-UNIX platforms agree on a location for mailcap file for their
respective machines? At the moment, excellent browsers such as MacWeb
keep their MIME mappings to themselves which means that you have to
replicate the MIME typing information that you use for every new
application that wishes to use MIME types. It would be nice if you could
just have a single file to specify the mappings for all browsers, mailers,
etc as on UNIX platforms. Of course, these application should still
provide the user with nice interfaces for editing the MIME information.
Just a thought,
Jon
