Gnome (and KDE, IIRC) currently uses application/x-abiword. In the past when I've downloaded attachments from the list archives they've been application/abiword. Part of the cleanup I'm doing is removing the remains of text/abiword, but I could put it back if there is strong consensus on text/abiword, and consensus on a separate type (aplication/x-abiword-compressed?) for .zabw files. > > One problem is that there is some confusion on what the executable name > > should be.

But you can't do "rpm -qf /usr/bin/abiword" if you're confused, or do "rpm -V abiword" to discover that the link is gone. Imagine that grandma somehow manages to delete /usr/bin/abiword, if the link is part of the installed files tools such as Red Carpet will be able to tell her that she has a damaged package and fix it for her. -- H�vard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]||http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~havardw||73 52 55 76 All it takes to start an avalanche is a single snowflake||Or a snowboarder Oh!
