Yes, how did you do that? I did that by creation of a .mailcap file here with the inclusion of the proper entry, but I could not do it inside the browser itself, which is a shame. :-(

Yes, that's a semi-solution to the problem, but I could find an extension to the browser somewhere with Google that makes it open things with the browser, but as I don't want to have extensions (I want here a pretty minimal environment), I'm using the mailcap hack. :-(
