I don't understand much about mime-types, but I gather that tar.gz files should be specified as "application/x-gzip". Browsing 'M-x customize-group mime' I can't find some relevant variable to set a default (and possibly other files) for files suffixed *.tar.gz. Any suggestions would be welcome. Cheers, -- Seb
