Hei, i can't subscribe to the list, unfortunately, because the page tells me my email address would be insecure. ;-) However, i just had a thought about improving link handling in applications, like i.e. Evolution. If i get a mail with a link to a pdf file, firefox opens and presents me with an empty window directly opening evince to show the document. Since Evince can open the pdf from the web directly, it would be much nicer if Evolution would directly open Evince. More generalised: It would be great, if all links to files other than web pages would directly open the mime-associated application, provided that they'd be capable of fetching the content (via gnome-vfs)? I guess this would exceed the possibilies of current mime specifications, and would hence either cause extension of some freedesktop specs or maintaining of a separate list of applications capable of fetching files from http or ftp links (that would then need to be crossed with the mime database "on the fly"). I'll try subscribing if someone could give me a hint how to get rid of the above mentioned error, otherwise, could you please post in cc to me? Thanks. André.
