New submission from Guénaël Muller <in...@inkey-art.net>:
mimetypes lib consider illustrator file ('.ai') as 'application/postscript'
type. This is correct... but also wrong.
Old illustrator file (illustrator 9) are real postscript file but modern one
are technically pdf. So guessing .ai as postscript lead to wrong guessing if
you're using some software that make decision based on mimetype, you can of
course, check both file_extension and mimetype but this remove usefulness of
mimetype.
