   File extension not saving with file

   Hi, when I save a file that has been emailed in Netscape Mail, I have to   
   manually append the 3-letter file type after the file name - eg .wmv,   
   .ttf etc to be able to use the file later. I cannot open and play .wmv   
   files without first saving them, fixing the extension and then opening   
   them in my media player.   
      
   To get these file types to automatically open and or save, I am assuming   
   they need to be set up in Prefs/Helper Apps. Is there a particular MIME   
   type I need to insert, or can I just put whatever I want in the top two   
   boxes with .ttf and .wmv as the extension? If not, what should I put as   
   the MIME type and description?   
      
   Thanks in advance,   
   Jo
