MIME type handling in firefox/thunderbird

[Lonni J Friedman]

I've been googling for almost a week, and have come up dry.  Does anyone
know how to control the applications that firefox & thunderbird associate
with different MIME types?

For example, I get a ton of files in email with a .log suffic which are
plain text.  Somewhere, somehow, thunderbird is deciding that it should
use gedit to open/view them, and I hate gedit.  Yet I can't figure out
where to change/override this behavior.  Anyone know?
