The MIME type gives you *some* information about the document even if you do not understand its type fully. For example, something labeled "text/xml" is known to be text, even if your application has never heard of XML. As such, it has certain properties that can be relied on. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c... You tollerday donsk? N. You tolkatiff scowegian? Nn. You spigotty anglease? Nnn.
