When a new helper application is added, and a certain file extension is assigned
to be dealt with by an external application, if this local file happens to be a
text file, the browser prints it in it's window, without invoking the external
application to deal with it. This is only the case with local files and not when
mime type is determined by the web server with which the browser may be
communicating.

What exact information did you fill in in the helper app setup fields?

These values were filled in:
Description Of Type: RealMedia
File Extension: rmm,ram
MIME Type: application/x-pn-realaudio
Application To Use: /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/realplay

Then when a *.ram file is open from a local hard drive, it's content
is printed in the browser window.

Not BE:Preferences.  I think it's XPApps. Also adding to chofmann's helper app
tracker.

it seems like we don't use RDF mime database for extension -> type mapping, and
I think we already have a bug on this....

dup of bug 52282?

It's not.  This is about us not getting the type, not not getting the encoding.

OK.  I suck. I was looking for this bug and could not find it.  Then right after
I filed a duplicate and attached a patch I found it.  :(

Marking dup; the patch should hopefully land once tree reopens for 0.9.7
