Listing of valid MIME pairings

[James A. Donovan]

...been looking for this off and on for a while now....

Does anyone have a complete (???) listing of valid MIME "pairings" that are appropriate for various types of files? Like gzip/zip or .pdf or .jpg, etc?

I'm specifically looking for appropriate "include" statements for e-mails like:

[include /tmp/myattach application/octet-stream base64]

and what type of file such includes can be paired with.

There should be a file in there .. "media-types", which will describe the types and subtypes. Get that file from ..
