I have this line in my .muttrc on two systems. It works as expected on
one, but on the other i still get the unknown mime-type message and
mutt tries to display the attachment as text. I would guess that mutt
is not finding my mime.types file. Would anyone know where mutt looks
for this? I would prefer using a system-wide one (/etc/mime.types or
/usr/etc/mime.types, perhaps?). Is this something i should also
specify somewhere in my .muttrc?

Thanks,
