As it has already been told many times in these threads
1) mime sniffing isn't perfect, but problematic files should be reported
so that it can be made as good as possible
2) since it isn't perfect, it must be easy to open a file with a user
chosen app


I don't really see the point of rehashing once again that mime sniffing
totally sucks and so on while the changes made to Nautilus solves the
potential problems caused by sniffing.
