In `mailcap-mime-extensions' there is a value `(".org"   . "text/x-org")'.

Maybe that is for Org-Mode.

It is :)

If official would mean registered with IANA, then it’s not.

On a related note, the =file= command [1] doesn't have the magic to identify Org 
files.


$ file work-notes.org
work-notes.org: UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines

Writing a pattern to make this work could be an interesting project if someone 
has some spare time some day ...

Re: [O] mimetype for orgmode files

hm. I tried to use this to update the mime-types on Github
(https://github.com/jshttp/mime-db/pull/82#pullrequestreview-45516223),
but the email isn't primary enough for them.

It seems like if we had something on orgmode.org specifying a mimetype
it might work, although better would be to get it in IANA.

Could we come to an agreement on "text/x-org" or "text/x-orgmode" and
document that on orgmode.org?

I'd say text/orgmode (text/x-orgmode if getting into IANA is not an
option). text/org feels too generic, as not everyone is familiar with Org.

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

`xdg-mime query filetype "[Path to some .org file.]"` shows
"text/plain", but Gnus in GNU Emacs shows it as "text/x-org".

Hi John,

I'd vote for "text/x-org".  The "mode" part sounds emacsy,
which is precisely not the point for a mimetype.

I can add this sentence to orgmode.org's homepage: 

  The /de facto/ mimetype for org attachments is "text/x-org".

Or any better suggestion?

That would work fine for me.

Let me know the url to that note when you update it so I can use it as a
primary source for the github registration.

Thanks for letting me know. I let the people at
https://github.com/jshttp/mime-db/pull/82 know that. It looks like org
might be registered as a mimetype now.

Hi,

There is RFC 6648, which "deprecating the "X-" Prefix".

So, it might be better to use "text/org".

I’m fine with "text/org".  John?  Others?

I’ll make the change later this week if nobody disagrees.

Thanks,

I guess I have no objections. Let me know when it is done, and I will
see about updating mimedb.
