Re: [O] mimetype for orgmode files

[Gergely Polonkai]

I'd say text/orgmode (text/x-orgmode if getting into IANA is not an option). text/org feels too generic, as not everyone is familiar with Org.

It seems like if we had something on orgmode.org specifying a mimetype
it might work, although better would be to get it in IANA.

Could we come to an agreement on "text/x-org" or "text/x-orgmode" and
document that on orgmode.org?
