So, the prompt saves my butt 5% of the time, the other 95% of the time I'm harassed by a prompt like in Windows. IMO, configuring for the fewest clicks possible is best. And like you said, provide a file with an option to to link in external apps if the user so wishes. (ie mutt's $HOME/.mutt/mailcap is a good example) Keeping a file type pointing to null or commented, gets default (download) action? I didn't want to say much more without being able to help code it, but I don't want to see another prompt popping-up. (ie. Dillo quit prompt) :-/ -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
