[Zope] External Editor on Win32 -- downloading files with .html extension

[Casey Duncan]

I'm not sure you need the "%1" at the end for Netscape or Mozilla. Try
getting rid of it in the Mozilla config especially.

I doubt that will help Netscape. I'm a bit surprised that Netscape is
sensitive to file extensions like that. weird. But try changing its
config to omit the "%1" anyhow.

I didn't test NS 4.x on Windows, but I will and I'll see if I can make
it behave.
