Mine looks like this:
mime_lookup application/octet-stream application/X-Lotus-Manuscript
and in *nix you can do "file blah" which will tell you what type of
file "blah" is.
FYI, I also use:
unset mime_forward
unset mime_forward_decode
and I see there's also:
# unset use_8bitmime
which I have commented out (for what reason, I don't know). Perhaps
grepping the dox for "mime" may help?

Have fun. :-)
