I works like a charm. Exactly what I wanted!  Muchas gracias for
your precious help...

Another question, then: is it possible to apply the same
principle for the `.mailcap' file (use at work IE as the
browser, and Maxthon at home)?

    ,----[ .mailcap -- maps MIME types to external viewers ]
    | 
    | application/pdf; "C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.exe" %s
    | image/*; "C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.exe" %s
    | text/html; "C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.exe" %s
    | 
    | 
    | # The following SHOULD work under XP, but DOES NOT!
    | # application/*; start "" %s
    | # archive/*; start "" %s
    | # audio/*; start "" %s
    | # image/*; start "" %s
    | # text/html; start "" %s
    `----

Best regards,
  Sébastien
