The hint about understanding this, is when you try and open a file in a file browser, which will actually be opened in an external application, is that the file browser doesn't pass the file to the application, it passes the filepath to the application (the file's address), and that application opens the file itself. It's got to be an addressing scheme that the application supports. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
