Thing is I am sure that it's never been like this until recently, I
would often switch on the machine, collect emails and then read them
and any with HTML attachments would load up fine when I double clicked
on them and that would be without using any form of web browser.

Thanks for the suggestions, seems there are solutions but i'm
interested to know why its started doing it.

At some point during collecting, reading emails a Browser was "seen" by the
Filer - perhaps your email program is in the same place as the Browser?

If it is I don't know how it's doing it as Virtual Risc PC also will
run HTML files just by double clicking on them , this has definately
had no look at files made and it's not connected to the internet so
browsers not used on it, just a WebsterXL cut down version to display
HTML files funnily enough !

In any case, the simple solution, as John said, is to add the browser to
your "look at" apps. (The MimeMap thing is a red herring.)

Thats good that the Mimemap is not the problem. But whilst Johns
solution would work it doesn't explain why and I have never had to do
this before and never had this problem.

Many thanks to everyones suggestions, but it's still got be baffled as
to why it's started happening, maybe i've accidently changed a setup
somewhere?

cheers
Matthew
