A one-line change to doc2html.pl is needed to add this MIME-type.
Change
# Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
if ($XLS2HTML) {
$mime_type = "application/msexcel|application/vnd.ms-excel";
$cmd = $XLS2HTML;
to
# Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
if ($XLS2HTML) {
$mime_type =
"application/msexcel|application/vnd.ms-excel|application/excel";
$cmd = $XLS2HTML;
My apologies for being too lazy to make that into a patch.
Can anybody confirm that "application/excel" is a standard MIME-type?
