Bug#274641: Missing official MIME type for MS Word documents
Package: openoffice.org-debian-files
Version: 1.1.2-4+1
Tags: patch
The official MIME type for MS Word documents is "application/msword"; see
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/msword .
"application/vnd.ms-word" is in common use, but is not an official MIME
type.
It is therefore wise to follow the principle of "be liberal in what you
accept, but be careful in what you send out". openoffice.org-debian-files
currently does not follow this principle, as it only registers for the
unofficial MIME type. The attached patch corrects this.
