Attachment: BeOS resource file required for building

Resource file with appropriate flags and Thunderbird icons.  Required for build.  Not sure why we didn't have one in the Branch before.

About resource file.
For quick look it contains besides logical for mail application mime-type assignments like mailto also those, which surely belong rather to browser:
0)text/html - though, it maybe can be left here
1)application/x-vnd.Be.URL.file
2)application/x-vnd.Be.URL.ftp
3)application/x-vnd.Be.URL.http
4)application/x-vnd.Be.URL.https

next string contains natural for the app mime
5)application/x-vnd.Be.URL.mailto
aswell as
6)application/x-vnd.Be.URL.news


So, i'm unsure if this resource file version is really best choice:)

addition.
For example, Mail-It supports following mime-types:
0)text/x-email
1)application/x-person (not sure that one is suitable for us, but who knows - it launches Mail-It from click onto "people" file, with people's email as mailto:field)
2)message/rfc822

Also you can look, using "resourcer" application, at default BeMail application, to get more ideas:)

Attachment: possible version for mail resource file

Doug - here is attempt for more correct resource file. Hope you our our friend from Canada, who worked on Thunderbird, can test it for proper mime support and then create final version

Stupid error on my part, Sergei.  This looks much better - I've added Dave to the cc list.

Sergei, I've tested this version here.  MIME-types we need, no in appropriate types.  Good work!

If this is approved, I'll need help checking in.  I'm having trouble with check-ins at the moment.
