MIME type handling in firefox/thunderbird

[Jesus Antonio Santos Giraldo]

Interesting...

I usually save the file (always download to desktop), and edited as 
needed bit it would be great if a given application could be used.

I read mimeTypes.rdf but is does not explicitly says what application to 
use for a given mimetype, for example an "application/zip" is related to 
<NC:externalApplication 
RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/zip"/>
But I cant see this related to an application for example ark.


So where do I say that the application I want to handle a zip file is 
ark for example?
