| Summary | 0000018: --mime-encoding reports a mangled string for .doc files | ||||
| Description | Background in https://stackoverflow.com/a/45177322/113632 Calling --mime on a .doc file prints: $ file --mime /tmp/example.doc /tmp/example.doc: application/msword; charset=binary Which leads me to believe --mime-encoding should print "binary", but instead it prints "application/mswordbinary": $ file --mime-encoding /tmp/example.doc /tmp/example.doc: application/mswordbinary Which appears to be the concatenation of the type and the encoding. Experimenting with several other file types all print *just* their encoding (e.g. binary, us-ascii, etc.). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Get a .doc file 2. Run `file --mime-encoding YOUR_FILE.doc` | ||||
