freedesktop - Dec 2005 - [fdo] new Microsoft Outlook mime type for freedesktop.org.xml

Hello developers,

I noticed that no mime type for Microsoft Outlook is in the
freedesktop.org.xml file.

Adding the following to freedesktop.org.xml will correcly identify my
*.pst files:

  <mime-type type="application/vnd.ms-outlook">
    <comment>Microsoft Outlook</comment>
    <glob pattern="*.pst"/>
    <magic priority="50">
      <match value="0x4e444221" type="little32"
offset="0"/>
    </magic>
  </mime-type>

I don't know if this magic number works for all pst files; it just works
for mine.
Does anyone know the correct way to identify Outlook files?

Thanks for the help,
Joshua Julin

Perhaps you should file bug report in bugzilla so that it won't be
forgotten.
