Hi All, when thinking of somehting new, please think about mime types 
for the main text file and maybe even files that are optimized in 
relation to the data or intentions you are moving around.

believe it or not:
I can click that link in my email Outlook Express and get IE8 with 
BSContact installed and it actually works. Same for .x3dv and for 
.wrl.
That also happens in most all web browsers clicking an html link when 
the plugin is installed and the mime is recognized.
This is happening due to solid registered (at least in the host 
browser) mime types
More and more of the web is depending upon mimes, believe it or not.

AddType model/x3d+xml .x3d
AddType model/x3d+vrml .x3dv

is what I serve now because BS Contact registers that.
I still think the secret is a firm connection between file name 
extension and the mime type.
Plus, what is working should be  'politically' sufficient.
Best Regards,
Joe
