Description Sergio Basto 2011-12-22 23:34:41 UTC 
Created attachment 549254 [details]
an example file to test it on

Description of problem:

file -b --mime-type winmail.dat
on a Fedora 16 gives:
application/octet-stream


but the same file on a Debian Lenny (file 4.26) gives:
application/vnd.ms-tnef
which is more correct. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
file-5.07-6.fc16.x86_64,

Additional info:
with file-5.00-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm
file -b --mime-type ~/winmail.dat
application/octet-stream

with file-4.26-9.fc16.x86_64.rpm
file -b --mime-type ~/winmail.dat
application/vnd.ms-tnef

so it is the jump of file-4.26 to file-5 

I report bug upstream on:
http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=158
but seems no one will reply .

I've attached the patch to mentioned upstream bug report and fixed in in Fedora rawhide. I plan to push new file-5.10 to F16 soon, so it will be fixed once I'll do that.
