[Android] CC filetypes accepted by device

[knulle]

Hello!

First thanks for this software. It's ideal to get my calibe managed books synced to my tablet. I'm going to get the pro-version today.

I've a question - or possibly a feature request:

Although calibre can't display MHTML-Files, it's possible to import such files. I use them to archive webpages (with FF and palemoon using unmht on Linux).
It's very handy to import them to calibre adding metadata so I can search within my calibre-book-library and display them by klicking within the palemoon browser on my notebook.

But - I can't transfer them using CC (and possibly launch the MHTviewer for those files) to have the same feature on my Android-Tablet
So it would be nice to have the filetype MHTML added to the setup list of bookformats to sync these files as well.
Can that be configured or is this "hard coded"

Cheers
Knut

CC gets the list of known "book" formats from calibre, so if it is added there then CC gets it automatically. However, CC already supports several others, for example mp3, xls, and ppt, so I have no problem adding this one. However ...

There seems to be disagreement about the extension. Some say it should be mht and others mhtml. There is also disagreement about its mimetype: multipart/related, application/x-mimearchive, message/rfc822. The last one seems to be more common.

Do you know that extensions the app(s) you want to use accepts? Do you know what mimetype(s)?

I was releasing CC 5.3.2.4 to production so I added mhtml and message/rfc822.
