Oooh, I can't let this one slide, sorry. A sane application would
mention it to the user if a file has a misleading extension which is
not in accordance with the MIME type. GNOME (or nautilus for that
matter) does this for me, and any file saying it's something else will
evoke a pop-up informing me about this threat.

Please try it before you discredit it,

PS As mentioned, I don't want to get into this discussion, because I
perceive the whole 3 letter extension system a deprecated DOS
extension, as is Windows and thus any user of it ;-) (ooh, I know I'm
getting out of line on this one, no harm intended ). I'll just get out
of this discussion again...
