Hi Debra. A mime type is basically a type of header that is sent to your web browser. The browser, in this case Lynx, knows what that extension that header points to. So for example, if lynx encounters a website that gives it the mime type of audio/scpls, then it will asociate that extension with pls which is specified in .mime.types. Lynx then looks in .mailcap to see which program to use. If it is freeamp, it executes it. Hope this helps.
