All,
I ran into a problem with MHonarc v. 1.2.3 processing an application
type of "application/vnd.ms-excel".  After some investigation, I
theorized that the problem lay in the fact that we're pattern matching
against "[\w-/]+" for the content-type, meaning that the period (and
anything after it) is not part of the content-type, resulting in a
non-match.

MHonarc appears to do content-type pattern matching in mhonarc,
mhexternal.pl and readmail.pl.  I've altered the pattern match for
content-type in these files to be "[\w-/\.]+"; this seems to have
fixed the problem.

For example, in the mhonarc file, the original line: ($tmp =
$fields{'content-type'}) =~ m%^\s*([\w-/]+)%; becomes... ($tmp =
$fields{'content-type'}) =~ m%^\s*([\w-/\.]+)%;

Does anyone think that I've broken something by making these
modifications?

No. It's already fixed like that in mhonarc 2.0a2. The offical answer is in:
