The only other line for mod was in the [MIME] section:
audio/x-mod MOD|/usr/bin/xmms $1 &
whereas the other two I referred to earlier were added below
;aliases and standard file types
Anyway, 'arachne http://localhost/nirvana.mod' didn't work when
that was active either. Though in that case, the file appears as
garbage on the screen.
but to check your idea, I commented that line and cleared the
cache. 'arachne nirvana.mod' still gives the "don't know how to
handle" screen.
