Bug#291821: Wrong MIME type
Package: openoffice.org-debian-files
Version: 1.1.3-3+1
Severity: normal
This was brought to my attention as part of
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5728
openoffice.org-debian-files registers a mailcap entry for an
"application/msexcel" MIME type. The namespace of MIME types, with the
exception of subtypes with an "x-" prefix, is administrated by IANA; the
registry is found at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html
and does not include an "application/msexcel" type. The appropriate MIME
type for XLS files is "application/vnd.ms-excel" as detailed at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.ms-excel
Please do not contribute to further pollution of the MIME types namespace
and remove this mailcap entry.
