I remember finding a shell script somewhere on google that attempted to guess the correct program from the filename (like windows does) which could then be used in .mailcap for application/octet-stream attachments. -- Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Kresten Kjeldgaard <kkje01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> aka Gathond For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. -- H.
