MIME properties and Windows

We have found that the way files are transferred differ based on the mime
characteristics associated with the file's extension.  It seems that many of
the Windows programs look at this to determine how to handle the file I/O.

We have found that this impacts Windows to Windows transfers as well as
Windows to SAMBA.  We haven't had the time or resources to allocate to
researching this further, but maybe this might help in some of the
debugging.

Sincerely,
