  31. >I tried using image/*, but it didn't work. I had to specify each and every

  39. image/x-wav      (for.wav)
  40. video/x-msvideo    (for .avi)
  41. video/quicktime   (for qt. and .mov)
  42. I have seen this also
  43. image/wav        (for .wav)
  44. I got this information from a book called Netscape Virtuoso by Keeler and
  45. Miller. They have .wav both ways.  The book says this, too.

  47. "Interested in finding out even more about MIME types? Check out RFCs 1521 and
  48. 1522, which propose and define MIME types. The RFCs are available at
  49. http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/MIME/MIME.html and elsewhere on the
  50. Internet. For less technical, more user friendly information, check out
  51. Usenet's comp.mail.mime FAQ (frequently asked questions list), available at
  52. ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.answers/mail/mime-faq/ and elsewhere on the
  53. Internet."
