Hi,
I suggest to make the media type used for Org mode files consistent with
the one used by XDG https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info
Currently Emacs has text/x-org, however "x-" prefix is not recommended
by IANA any more, see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6648
"Deprecating the "X-" Prefix and Similar Constructs in Application
Protocols"
Ideally somebody should file a request to IANA to register the text/org
media type.
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
However I have no idea concerning a conflict due to the .org file name
suffix. It was used in the past by early versions of Lotus Organizer.
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.lotus-organizer
I am unsure if gnus-related code should be committed to some other
repository at first. I am not a gnus user, so I do not mind if an
alternative change will be committed.
