OS X 10.9.3 here, mutt from hg repo tip.
The manual (dev version) says: "When you add an attachment to your mail
message, Mutt searches your personal mime.types file at $HOME/.mime.types,
and then the system mime.types file at /usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types or
/etc/mime.types"
But on OSX, the build process for mutt automatically puts the included
mime.types file at /usr/local/etc/mime.types. Moreover, "make install"
doesn't create any such directory as "/usr/local/share/mutt" on OS X.
So the manual is wrong about where the system mime.types in /usr/local/...
live. The more important question is: where is the mutt binary expecting
to find the system mime.types?
