Well... it turned out to not be terribly hard. I created variables of
the format:
mhshow-suffix-TYPE:
mhshow-suffix-TYPE/SUBTYPE:
for example:
mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
Then, I applied the patch below and things worked great. This only affects
openBase64. I added the same lines to the openQuoted and it dumped core
on me. I don't have time to look into it any more tonight, but in the
meantime, Base64 is working great.
