When I have mentioned on the Org mailing list that eww shall be able to recognize content type, basically MIME type, and that Emacs shall have possibility to define how to open different content types, people started speaking of insecurity, how it is not good for Emacs users, etc. But I can easily use Iceweasel, fork of Firefox, and setup Emacs to open text/x-org files. See: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2022-10/threads.html#00889 It came out in discussion that Emacs shall not open Org files coming from WWW servers, while in the same time every other browser can open Org files by using Emacs. Makes no sense to me. Opening MIME types is not related to security. I can have Perl files to be opened directly with Perl interpreter, that is my user choice. In my opinion there shall be mechanism in Emacs to open any MIME type. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
