Acroread comes up as desired in mozilla 1.5b & netscape navigator
4.8 when...
- in ~/.mailcap i have...
application/pdf; acroread %s
- in netscape's Navigator->Application Helpers ...
MIMEType: application/pdf
Suffiexes: pdf
Handled By->Application: acroread %s
and, similarly for mozilla (Navigator->Helper Applications).
I forgot if i had manually set the above settings or
mozilla/netscape just read ~/.mailcap & adjusted themselves.
