# # mime-types - maps file extentions to MIME Content-Type values # # This file is used by Elm to assign a Content-Type to attach/include files. # Unless a Content-Type is specified, Elm will search this file looking # for a match for the extension given in field one. At the first match # found, the remainder of the line is taken as the Content-Type. # # There is an implied dot before the extension, and there can not be # any other characters following the extension. This first rule means # that a file called "bigif" would NOT be assigned "image/gif". The # second rule means that a file called "foo.txt.Z" would NOT be assigned # "text/plain". # cgi text/html htm text/html html text/html tex text/plain txt text/plain gif image/gif ief image/ief jpe image/jpeg jpeg image/jpeg jpg image/jpeg tif image/tiff tiff image/tiff xbm image/x-xbitmap xwd image/x-xwindowdump au audio/basic snd audio/basic aif audio/x-aiff aifc audio/x-aiff aiff audio/x-aiff wav audio/x-wav mpe video/mpeg mpeg video/mpeg mpg video/mpeg mov video/quicktime qt video/quicktime avi video/x-msvideo movie video/x-sgi-movie bin application/octet-stream exe application/octet-stream pdf application/pdf ai application/postscript eps application/postscript ps application/postscript dvi application/x-dvi # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # The following listing was excerpted from # . # It shows all of the official IANA sanctioned media types (formerly # called MIME types) as of 20 Sept 1995. # # The full power of MIME is available only when the sending and receiving # email systems agree on media type names. It is, therefore, a really # bad idea to invent media types on your own. Stick with the standard # names. # # If you can coordinate between the sending and receiving systems (i.e. # people within your organization want to send spreadsheet attachments), # it often is helpful to create media types that integrate application # programs with the MIME system. When you do this, however, it is an # extremely good idea to use the "X-" experimental type prefix -- as in # "application/x-whizzyrite-pro". # # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # [RFC1521] specifies that Content Types, Content Subtypes, Character # Sets, Access Types, and Conversion values for MIME mail will be # assigned and listed by the IANA. # # # Content Types and Subtypes # -------------------------- # # Type Subtype Description Reference # ---- ------- ----------- --------- # text plain [RFC1521,Borenstein] # richtext [RFC1521,Borenstein] # enriched [RFC1563] # tab-separated-values [Paul Lindner] # # multipart mixed [RFC1521,Borenstein] # alternative [RFC1521,Borenstein] # digest [RFC1521,Borenstein] # parallel [RFC1521,Borenstein] # appledouble [MacMime,Patrik Faltstrom] # header-set [Dave Crocker] # # message rfc822 [RFC1521,Borenstein] # partial [RFC1521,Borenstein] # external-body [RFC1521,Borenstein] # news [RFC 1036, Henry Spencer] # # application octet-stream [RFC1521,Borenstein] # postscript [RFC1521,Borenstein] # oda [RFC1521,Borenstein] # atomicmail [atomicmail,Borenstein] # andrew-inset [andrew-inset,Borenstein] # slate [slate,terry crowley] # wita [Wang Info Transfer,Larry Campbell] # dec-dx [Digital Doc Trans, Larry Campbell] # dca-rft [IBM Doc Content Arch, Larry Campbell] # activemessage [Ehud Shapiro] # rtf [Paul Lindner] # applefile [MacMime,Patrik Faltstrom] # mac-binhex40 [MacMime,Patrik Faltstrom] # news-message-id [RFC1036, Henry Spencer] # news-transmission [RFC1036, Henry Spencer] # wordperfect5.1 [Paul Lindner] # pdf [Paul Lindner] # zip [Paul Lindner] # macwriteii [Paul Lindner] # msword [Paul Lindner] # remote-printing [RFC1486,Rose] # mathematica [Van Nostern] # cybercash [Eastlake] # commonground [Glazer] # iges [Parks] # riscos [Smith] # eshop [Katz] # # image jpeg [RFC1521,Borenstein] # gif [RFC1521,Borenstein] # ief Image Exchange Format [RFC1314] # g3fax [RFC1494] # tiff Tag Image File Format [Rose] # # audio basic [RFC1521,Borenstein] # # video mpeg [RFC1521,Borenstein] # quicktime [Paul Lindner] # # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
