/etc/mime.types has a layout of

        MIME-TYPE       EXTENSION

Crossover Office has rewritten my ~/.mime.types as

        type=MIME-TYPE \
        desc=foo bar \
        exts="EXTENSION"

Looking at mailcap.el, the second layout is not supported.  Before I
dust off my elisp skills, is the second layout an accepted standard or
some KDE/Gnome specific thing to be ignored?

Thanks.
