I've seen this in Mozilla 1.0, and I think what was happening is that Mozilla was picking the info from /etc/mailcap and using that to override the preferences. I don't see this problem in the more recent builds I have been using lately, though those builds are directly from mozilla.org. So I think that either the problem has been fixed, or it is specific to the Debian packaging of Mozilla. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org
