You could register for ".txt", ".vcf", ".vcs", etc, but this won't help
much. First of all, up to Palm OS 3.5, there was no published mechanism for
choosing between multiple apps registered for the same extension or MIME
type. More important, when the PIM apps beam data, they set the target
creator ID to their own creator ID. This causes the beam to go directly to
the peer application on the other device - the extension and MIME type are
ignored.
In Palm OS 4.0, there is a mechanism for "stealing" incoming data that would
normally go directly to another app. This is done by registering for its
creator ID ('memo', 'addr', 'date', etc).
In older versions of Palm OS, the only thing I can think of is to patch
ExgNotifyReceive. This is obviously not a "supported" solution. :) If you're
going to do this, a Hackmaster Hack would probably be more appropriate than
an app.
