MIME type problems

[eluser]wakey[/eluser]
Hi,

I have had a search through the forums but can't really find anything about this mime type - I would like users of my app to be able to upload standard MS office documents - doc, xls, ppt etc.

When uploading Excel xls files from my computer for a test, each one uploaded with the MIME type "application/x-msdownload". This is for simple files I have included as a test and for ones I have been emailed previously.

I have read that some exe files can be uploaded using this MIME type, does anyone know how I can get around this issue and allow xls files to be uploaded?

Cheers.
