Re: [orca-list] text console use

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

For now, I jumped the shark.  I have no line in my .mailcap file to
handle youtube files yet.  Doesn't appear to be one on the internet yet
either.  I ran file on a youtube file and got some rather interesting
output.  Ultimately it's an mp4 file with a specific ISO type and I may
have to get that specific in my .mailcap to have this picked up and
played correctly later.
