I've tried to configure Mozilla to send mp3 playlists to xmms (on Linux), but it's too complicated. With Netscape 4.x, you could just add stuff to .mailcap and .mime.types, but that's not possible It's easier to tell people to "add this to your .mailcap file to be able to hear mp3 files" than to tell them the whole procedure of Preferences --> Helper Applications, enter this and that etc. I think the new file format in mimeTypes.rdf is worse than the old .mailcap file. Also: What is the format for the command line that is defined for the helper application? I would be able to click "Help" in the New Type form to find out. For example; if I want to send the link to xmms, should I write xmms or xmms %u or xmms %s (this syntax works in Netscape 4.x)
