So, when I use the xdg-open hack I would need my own xdg-open to<br>
symlink to /usr/bin/xdg-open, right?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Or just put a file called xdg-open in a directory that appears in your PATH environment variable before /usr/bin.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

To the use of mimeo:<br>
<br>
I already tried it but I couldn't figure out any ways to define a<br>
working mimetype handling with it.<br>
<br>
Can you give me an example?<br>
