Such hardcoded lists of mimetypes and extensions make me cringe :)

Did you first check what KMimeType::findByContent returns? Surely in many cases it can help, when findByUrl is fooled by a wrong extension.
Althought, it might not be able to distinguish between types of msoffice docs, for lack of good magic.
But at least it should be able to tell you easily whether a .doc file is OLE or not.

This patch handles this case by not just using the name for determining the mimetype of the file while loading, but also looking at the contents (KMimeType:findByContents). It also introduces a replacement scheme to take care of reported mimetypes like application/zip instead of, say, docx.
