Thanks for the insight. I also realized that it was likely just the wav files from our voicemail system that were, as you say, making up their own mime-type. But for whatever reason, it appeared to break after reloading my machine with a new distro... They used to get recognized just fine prior.
I sent myself a different wav (not a voicemail) and it was associated as the default audio/x-wav and XMMS became a drop-down option as defined in gnome-file-types-properties. So I wonder how many other wav "types" are out there. -----Original Message----- From: Not Zed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 3/17/2004 6:54 PM To: Boyce, Chris Cc: Eric Lambart; Evolution Subject: Re: [Evolution] gconf setting for wav files?

There are a lot of content creators out there that have thrown away the idea of registering their types, and are just creating new ones whenever they see fit. Which throws the whole mime-type idea into a loop, and is the cause of much frustration and loud swearing. Its probably so things play with the right player in windows or some shit. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
