Subject: Re: .smil association in Mac IE 4.5 (bug?)
As far as I can tell, this occurs because RealPlayer creates a file
association that IE 4.5 doesn't deal with well. Specifically, if you
change the SMIL association so that it only applies to .smi and NOT .smil,
all seems to work well. This will be bugged.
