Or hold down on SHIFT and click on the object.
The default is SUPPOSED to be for Netscape to ask you to download a NON
recognized mime type.
Or if Livingston made all their images with a STANDARD mime type, like
"img" or something, then users could tell Netscape what to do with it when
they saw that extension. Or you could even come up with a custom
extension as long as you used it on ALL images.
