Re: [BlueObelisk-discuss] Chemical MIME types

x-chemical is not accepted as a valid media type by the freedesktop tools (I tested). There are other mime types around the net, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580725 Best regards, J. Bréfort Le jeudi 28 octobre 2010 à 16:36 +0100, Peter Murray-Rust a écrit : > I wrote a post ab
