What we really ought to do is derive the MIME type from the file contents. I realize this means bundling an implementation of magic, but I think it's worth the price. There are several license-compatible implementations out there that could be used as a starting point. As for outright failure for unrecognized types, this really violates POLA. If something is labeled application/octet-stream, at worst it means the content might not receive some automated processing by the receiving client. While annoying, perhaps, it's far from fatal. --lyndon _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
