>>>>> Brian Lalonde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > When is a MIME type more useful than an extension?
As to "When", my answer is "always". If the question had been "Why", my answer would have been that MIME types (or Content Types) have a central registry, so that the interpretation of the type is indepentent of applications, and operating system environments. There are more possible interpretations to ".doc" than MSWord files.
