The @mime plugin's genesis was to separate opening of files on the local filesystem from URLs and UNLs. At the time, the UNL plugin would just call the webbrowser, which explicitly had different settings than my '.mailcap'. Also, KDE's "kfmclient exec" uses (used?) its own settings for figuring out which program to use. @mime's purpose is to simulate the behavior of double-clicking on the file in a file-manager running under the current "desktop system". Terry's revision at 3860.3.1 pretty much made @mime obsolete through using "g.os_startfile" on local non-leo files. "xdg-open", currently used for @url's with no scheme or file://, has nearly identical behavior to @mime's default behavior. @mime also allows re-defining either a different command to exec or a function to handle the argument with an @setting.
