And yes, having defaults for common content types in the profile would
be a good thing. At the time that I wrote this stuff suffixes were not
nearly as standardized as they are today.
Wow. Maybe somebody should gather them all up into a file and call
it /etc/mime.types or something, so all programs could benefit?

Whoa, sarcasm. It's SOOOOOO appreciated :)
This all goes back to the "don't break things" approach that I took when I
wrote this originally. Maybe it's time to revisit it. It's a complex issue
because of the linkage between mime types and helper applications. I used
what was there which comes from mhshow. No real objection to changing it
althout /etc/mime.types may not exist on all systems. Also, there are
probably considerable differences in choices of helper applications.
