[try to keep correspondance to the mhonarc list]

1. i recieve the visio attachement correctly through my netscape
   mail. there the attachment shows up as:

                 Name: netmodel.vsd
                 Type:
application/x-unknown-content-type-Visio.Drawing.4
                 Encoding: base64

2. so i thought that subtype of visio should be 
   "x-unknown-content-type-Visio.Drawing.4" and so added the following
line
   to my mhonarc resource file: (the new/added line has been underlined)

<MimeArgs>
text/plain:quote maxwidth=78
image/gif:inline
image/jpeg:inline
image/x-xbitmap:inline
image/x-xbm:inline
</MimeArgs>

<MIMEFilters>
application/x-unknown-content-type-Visio.Drawing.4:m2h_external'filter
ext=vsd 
type="Visio Document":mhexternal.pl

You are misusing the MIMEFilters resource.  What you have above
will not work.  The first line is okay, but the other 2 are bogus.
MIMEFilters just maps content-types to filters.  Filter options
are specified by the MIMEARGS resource.  Therefore, you want something
like the following:

<MIMEFilters>
application/x-unknown-content-type-Visio.Drawing.4:m2h_external'filter
</MIMEFilters>

<MimeArgs>
application/x-unknown-content-type-Visio.Drawing.4:ext=vsd type="Visio Document"
</MimeArgs>

Hopefully this should do the trick.
