Re: IceCat Mimetype patch

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hi Eric,


thanks for the patch but I am not sure it is good idea to change this
configuration.  I don't know if some distro is using a similar thing (do
you know any?) but as user I wouldn't like it, what if on my machine
shell scripts are configured to be executed by a shell?  Should it
happen accidentally with downloaded files too?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers,
Giuseppe
