I have been lately quite annoyed by the fact that sometimes (not always)
the new versions of powerpoint files (.pptx ones) do not cause
openoffice to come up.  You often need to save the file and then open it
locally.  It just dawned on my why.  Many (ours included) web servers do
not have pptx in the /etc/mime.types file so the files are not properly
labeled as powerpoint.  I believe that adding the following to the
/etc/mime.types file of our web servers will fix it:
change: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint          ppt
instead it should read: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint          ppt pptx

Similar changes are needed for doc->doc docx
and for xls->xls xlsx

Without this the web server identifies the files as binary and a browser
that respects this simply allows you to download and not to open the
file.  It would be great if TUV would incorporate this into future
releases of the mailcap rpm.
