I set variable "org-file-apps" like this:
(setq org-file-apps
'(;; default
(auto-mode . emacs)
("\\.mm\\'" . default)
;; ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
("\.x?html\'" . "firefox %s")
("\\.pdf\\'" . default)
("\\.pdf::\\([[:digit:]]+\\)\\'" . "okular -p %1 %s")
;; extras
("\\.chm\\'" . "kchmviewer %s") ;; TODO open CHM file with external program.
))
But when I open a CHM file, Emacs does not open it with "kchmviewer", just open
CHM in Emacs.
What's wrong ?

Nothing is wrong. org-file-apps applies only to links that org-mode
knows about (e.g. when you follow a link to a CHM file from an org file
- that should work). In order to affect emacs as a whole, you need to
modify one of your mailcap files - read the manual page mailca[(5) for
the details. It's probably best to put it in your personal mailcap file,
~/.mailcap, but if your machine is used by other people who might also
want the association, you might want to put it into /etc/mailcap. I have
no idea how Windows does these things, so if you are running on Windows
you might need additional help.
mailcap maps content type (e.g. chemical/x-chemdraw) to processor:
chemical/x-chemdraw; kchmviewer %s
You might also need to provide an association between a filename suffix
and a content type. That is done in /etc/mime.types or ~/.mime.types:
chemical/x-chemdraw chm
My /etc/mime.types already contained this association.
This is the general mechanism and *all* programs that claim to deal
with MIME content use it, including emacs. org-file-apps should be
used only to impose *exceptions* to this rule (e.g. you might want to
treat some content types differently if they are found as targets of
links from org files).

This will work as well.
(setcdr (assq 'system org-file-apps-defaults-gnu ) "xdg-open %s")
If xdg-open is not available, one can replace it with gnome-open or
kde-open.

I don't understand: how will changing org-file-apps-defaults-gnu
affect the rest of emacs?
E.g. if I receive a chem attachment and I use e.g. mh-e to read my mail,
how will that help me?

Did I forget `Conditions apply'?

This is great, thanks. A good and simple method.
