Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mime-support

Primarily useful for web links created by Windows applications installed in 
Wine.  Currently they are identified as a "resource location" but are opened as 
text files.  A simple command for opening them:
xdg-open $(cat "$1" | grep -i "URL=" | sed -n 's/\(^URL=\)\(.*$\)/\2/p')

Example file "MSN.com.url":
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=6&ar=IStart
Modified=00CAC580D58BC80138

** Affects: mime-support (Ubuntu)
