I'd like to raise related use case we've discussed before.
- Default applications.
It is clearly a related issue to mime type, but has its own
particularities. The obvious example that most apps hit eventually
is email and the dreaded 'send to' operation.
- which mailer should be used ?
- what set of mailto: does that app support ?
Gnumeric currently hard codes evo.
OO has several thousand lines of code to handle different
interpretations of the rfcs, and handles evo or netscape-mail.
Does it seem feasible to handle this now ?
