Exactly.

On that note, I just checked the BeMail source and it does the EXACT
SAME THING I did in ShowImage, except it hard-codes the constants:
BMessenger
tracker("application/x-vnd.Be-TRAK");
if (tracker.IsValid()) {
BMessage msg('Ttrs');
msg.AddRef("refs", fRef);
tracker.SendMessage(&msg);
So why did I get so much flak for doing it this way? Grrr. OK, I'm not
that upset, but it just goes to show we do need to solve this problem.
The BeMail trashing has the same issues as the ShowImage one.

Ryan
