Mime Types

(Linux/Solaris only)

I don't know which mime types are recommended for your mailcap or Netscape .mime.types but here are mine::

.mailcap

#StarOffice related
application/msword;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
application/msexcel;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
application/ppt;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
application/soffice;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
application/vnd.stardivision.impress;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
application/vnd.stardivision.draw;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
application/vnd.stardivision.writer;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
application/vnd.stardivision.calc;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
application/x-starwriter;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s

application/x-starimpress;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
application/x-stardraw;/path/to/staroffice/program/soffice %s
