Mmh, well as application/pgp-signature doesn't require a plugin but PGP
itself installed, an nearly empty page with nearly no information except
the title "Netscape plugin finder" showed up. I didn't consider this
really helpful, as I pressed a "More info" button. As an user who
*really* needed more info, I would have been even more confused. Why do
we assume every unknown mime type has to be handled by a *plugin*
anyway?
Secondly (and just now when I think of it) I think it is a bad idea to
silently replace my mail message with some webcontent of an hardcoded
URL. Call me paranoid, but I don't like the thought.
If this feature exist, why not open a new window with the plugin finder?
