Package: emboss Severity: wishlist Hello everybody,
In 2008, for the visualisation of DNA sequence chromatograms generated by Applied Biosystems machines and their successors, I created files declaring media types for the mailcap and FreeDesktop systems. Due to my incomplete undertanding at that time, I used standard tree media types, such as `application/vnd.appliedbiosystems.abif` without making sure they are declared. In principle, it would be better to either have the maker company to declare chromatogram files' media types and their magic numbers, or empower one of us (any volunteer?) to do so. Then we could propagate them in the "file" and "shared-mime-info" databases, which would increase the chance that the media types are used when the files are served on the Web or sent by email. Thus, I open this bug as a reminder.
