For anyone on this list that doesn't already know; I've become a huge SUSE fan since the 10.X series came out. I think its by far the best desktop going (yes; even better than Ubuntu). Ok, that's my soapbox speech....

Now on to the problem; there is one dang thing that drives me up the wall that I have never been able to sort out and I assume its not limited to SUSE.

I use Evolution and the gnome desktop; even though I have the file associations set in gnome (via Nautilus), Evolution doesn't seem to use them.

So for example, the one that constantly frustrates me is attachments with the file extensions in a different case.

Damn Windows users are constantly sending me message.WAV, or fax.TIF files and evolution only recognizes .wav or .tif so I have to do a "save as" and then open them in Nautilus.

So the question is what is the proper way to set file associations in gnome so that Evolution will use them?

Evolution reportedly uses the gnome settings to figure out what to do with files so I assume that using Nautilus to make these changes is not the correct way to do it?

Most of the google results on this topic seem to point at methods for older versions of gnome that does not work with this version of SUSE (OpenSUSE 10.2).
