Hi

Out of interest, whats the general policy on MIME types - particularly those 
for files that KDE does not yet have support for?

IMO it seems like a good idea to have entries for all MIME types jsut so the 
user can see what sort of files they are, OTOH it may be confusing that KDE 
appear to know what a type is but not what to do with it.

Cheers

Shane
