Subject: Auto-overriding *.pdf application/octet-stream MIME type?
Date: Mon, 03 Nov 2008 12:31:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <873ai9dp1a.fsf@mocca.josefsson.org> (raw)
What do people think about a variable that can be used to auto-override
MIME types based on filename extensions? I get a lot of *.pdf marked as
application/octet-stream and selecting 'View as Type' feels dull.
Something like this:
(setq mm-content-type-mapping
'(("application/octet-stream" "*.pdf" "application/pdf")))
The cells would be of the form (INCOMING-TYPE EXTENSION MAPPED-TYPE),
and either of INCOMING-TYPE or EXTENSION can be nil to match anything.
I've seen the mm-tweak-* variables, but they are 1) not customizable,
and 2) not easy to use to achieve the common *.pdf to application/pdf
mapping. At least as far as I could tell?
