+** Open Images Automatically With Emacsclient
+To automatically open images with ~emacsclient~ (useful, for example, to open them as a new buffer from Gomuks with ~/open~), copy ~emacs-open~ to ~/usr/bin/~ and make it executable. Then replace ~emacsclient.desktop~ with the one in this repository. Finally, run ~xdg-mime default emacsclient.desktop $(grep '^image/*' /usr/share/mime/types)~ to update emacsclient to be the default mimetype handler.
