    Problem with MIME types

    On a RHEL5.2 system running MediaWiki 1.13.3, I've bumped into a problem.

    A couple of PowerPoint files that users attempted to upload to the wiki were rejected with a message about the files being corrupt. They are, of course, not corrupt at all... they open just fine. MediaWiki is set to use the 'file' command to test files. However...

    [root@server wiki]# file --brief --mime images/presentation.ppt
    application/msword

    The only reference to "msword" in /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types:

    application/msword doc dot

    And the only reference to ppt:

    application/vnd.ms-powerpoint ppt pps pot


    So... why is this file being referred to as "msword"???
