Thanks, that finally did it.
I once was that far. What I missed is that it is no help fiddling with
"mime/tmp-dir", because the external method uses the environment
variable. Now I just have to disable the trap to kill the file, because the 
procedure finishes before the asynchronous Netscape gets at the file.
I can live with that.
