It is vitally important with the new realplayer that you either use the
global mime types, or reconcile your local set to the globals by
hand. The new RealPlayer added some twenty mime types (!) and is now
the default handler for several audio types as well.
The easiest thing to do is to remove your local ~/.mailcap and
~/.mime.types files entirely, assuming you don't have any special types
in there for your own use. Removing these will automatically use the
globals.
If instead you'd like to look at the global files and add the new
information by hand, the files are at
