mime type when adding attachment



When I attach an excel file, its mime type is automatically set to
"application/excel", while recipient has no problem (they use
outlook), my mailcap has not associate that with any spreadsheet
program, thus mutt cannot open it.  My question is how does mutt
determine mime type when adding attachment so that I could change that
for excel file to "application/vnd.ms-excel"  which seem recognised by
  both gnumeric and openoffice.


relevant portions of my /etc/mailcap
