Hello! Based on this recent thread, the consensus seems to be that we'd like the .org file extension to have a dedicated "text/org" MIME type:
https://yhetil.org/orgmode/6d94fff4-4d30-4121-bfd1-f267cb5b6...@gmail.com/ Until the Org syntax spec is complete and a proposal submitted to and approved by IANA, we can negotiate with downstream MIME libraries to override "applicaion/vnd.lotus-organizer" with "text/org" on a case-by-case basis. As Max Nikulin wrote in the thread linked above, > An alternative is to negotiate with maintainers of mime.types in > RedHat and Debian. Support for "text/org" in <https://github.com/jshttp/mime-db> would let the Agregore browser (<https://agregore.mauve.moe/>) render Org files. Then hyperdrive.el users could share Org files to be viewed in Agregore. John Kitchin opened a PR back in 2017, which was rejected: https://github.com/jshttp/mime-db/pull/82 After I posted a comment on the thread, the maintainer responded: > I would suggest opening a new PR.

I'd like to open a new PR. Would you elaborate on "de facto mimetype"? Thank you! Joseph
