Description Chris Rebert 2004-12-02 19:04:03 UTC 
Files of the txt2tags format (see URL for details) (extensions: .t2t .txt) are
being misidentified as postscript files.

To reproduce (in GNOME v2.8.0-r1 w/ shared-mime-info v0.14):
Part 1:
1. Download example txt2tags file #1 w/ .txt extension
2. Notice its icon is that as a plaintext file
3. Double-click said file
Part 2:
5. Download the other example file w/ a .t2t extension (t2t -> txt2tags)
6. The file is immediately given a postscript icon.
7. Double-click said file

Actual results:
Part 1: A dialog box pops up complaining that the file is a postscript file w/
the wrong extension.
Part 2: The GGV postscript viewer is opened and complains that the file is not a
valid postscript file.

Expected results:
Gedit or the default text editor app should be opened.

        * freedesktop.org.xml.in: add text/x-txt2tags to the mime-type
        so that we can whitelist it (not a Postscript!) (Closes: #2001),
        lower the priority of the application/mbox magic to avoid false
        positives
