Hi all,
	I would like netscape to execute a command as defined in .mailcap 
file when a file http://host/somewhere/file.gz is loaded. It works 
perfectly for .ps, .gif and other extensions. Infact, i discovered that 
netscape doesn't read .mime.types at all! If I change the MIME type of ps 
from application/postscript to application/abcd, it still implements the 
original command.
	Could someone please suggest a way of viewing .gz|.Z files to begin 
with? I'm prepared to use an external viewer like gzcat %s | xless

Thanxall
Rupesh
