	Sheeesh! You don't need to look any further than your browser.
	Under the options menu, select preferences. The helper app
	menu specifies the global/personal MIME and mailcap files.

	The other menus allow you to personalize almost every aspect
	of your browser (i.e. default cache size,smtp host, etc.)
	Make sure you save any changes BEFORE you exit the browser.
