already working on it :-)

found ui-plain.c::print_object to change


With the httpd style I hope you mean the same format as /etc/mime.types?
My /etc/mime.types is provided by mailcap on F15 and CentOS/RHEL 5
It's format is very simple:
- comments are empty lines or lines starting with a #
- other lines are: mimetype [extension]+


I propose a new parameter called mime-types with a default of
/etc/mime.types
