There is some overlap in functionality between @mime and @url, when it
comes to local files.
Although it seems @url can under some circumstances also open local
files with the associated program, @mime certainly does a more
consistent job, particularly with relative path names.
One big difference is that @url is active also in the body, while
@mime only works in the header. This may even make sense, because it
may be difficult to determine the end of a filename in body text,
particulary when the filename contains blanks.

I would be in favor of making @mime a default package. It may even be
possible to merge them into a unified @url, but because of the reasons
just stated, that may not be desirable after all.
