I attached foo.webp to an email and mutt used application/octet-stream.
I think to fix this mime.types needs to contain "image/webp webp".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP
Debian already supports this file format, and
file(1) uses the the correct media type (née MIME type):
$ gm convert rose: webp:- | file --mime -
/dev/stdin: image/webp; charset=binary
I think the RIGHT fix is to trick Google into filing IANA paperwork so it
appears here:
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/image.csv
I think if that is done, Debian will get it automatically.
Is that right?
Can mime-support add it right now (before IANA)?
I understand that in the meantime, I can patch it
per-user in ~/.mime.types or
per-host in /etc/mime.types (but not /etc/mime.types.d/foo.conf).
