Have you looked at your .mailcap and .mime** files? I ran these things
on RH 4.2 before and they worked just fine. Also, if you're accessing
these from Netscape, make sure that it's correctly calling the app and
the file.

I'm at home so it's hard to look this up at the moment, but if you are
still stuck next week let me know and I'll see what else I can find.
