#56 Incorrect usage of MIME types

[Grim]

The whole point of MIME types is to have a unique type string for each distinct file type. Using file extensions doesn't solve this problem since they often collide. And besides, there is also a (semi) standard way to create MIME types from extensions, like: image/x-extension-ext.

Some of the formats already have (semi) standard MIME types, like ILBM (which is even listed in the Free Desktop shared MIME database). These should also be used by Recoil (see my attached patch for a suggestion about how). The remaining formats, which has never had a MIME type, should ideally be assigned one. And, yes, I volunteer to help out.
