Description D Bera 2007-10-31 06:59:30 UTC

A lot of application/msword files I have start with this magic:
<match value="\320\317\021\340\241\261" type="string" offset="0"/>

Without this, the msword files are not properly detected. With this change, they are detected correctly. This magic is also used in KDE KMimeMagic database (/usr/share/mimelnk/magic).

That's actually the magic for application/x-ole-storage, which can also be an Excel file, or a whole load of others.
