;;; Commentary:
;; This lets you associate external applications with files so that
;; you can open them via C-x C-f, with RET in dired, etc.
;; Copy openwith.el to your load-path and add to your .emacs:
;; (require 'openwith)
;; (openwith-mode t)
;; To customize associations etc., use:
;;
;; M-x customize-group RET openwith RET
;;
;; To prevent openwith-mode from interfering with attachments when
;; writing a message in Gnus, add the following to your .emacs:
;;
;; (require 'mm-util)
;; (add-to-list 'mm-inhibit-file-name-handlers 'openwith-file-handler)
