-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have been lately quite annoyed by the fact that sometimes (not always) the new versions of powerpoint files (.pptx ones) do not cause openoffice to come up. You often need to save the file and then open it locally. It just dawned on my why. Many (ours included) web servers do not have pptx in the /etc/mime.types file so the files are not properly labeled as powerpoint. I believe that adding the following to the /etc/mime.types file of our web servers will fix it: change: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint ppt instead it should read: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint ppt pptx
Similar changes are needed for doc->doc docx and for xls->xls xlsx Without this the web server identifies the files as binary and a browser that respects this simply allows you to download and not to open the file. It would be great if TUV would incorporate this into future releases of the mailcap rpm. - -- Robert E.
