You need to delete those mime applications that win= e creates under your home folder.

Try something like:
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/appli= cations/wine

or search and delete t= he file that you told me (wine-extension-pdf).

The previous gnome instructions I told you should ha= ve worked though.

Unfortunately, not for me (Gnome 2.30)
Before and after the above procedure I have

gnomevfs-info MyFile.pdf
still shows
MIME type =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 : application/pdf
Default app =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 : wine-extension-pdf.desktop

I wonder where this 'wine-extension-pdf.desktop' is coming from.
And Balsa tries to use this when viewing a pdf attachment.
I'm lost,
Helmut.
