thanks for the new release candidate!

In the previous amavisd version, all Office files types
were mapped to 'doc' since file(1) reported just "Office document".

Office 2007+ documents get properly distinguished by file(1).

We could either do this (I run that locally):

     [qr/^Microsoft Office Document\b/i  => 'doc'],  # OLE2: doc, ppt, xls, ...
+    [qr/^Microsoft (Word|Excel|PowerPoint)\b/i  => 'doc'],  # Office 2007+: docx, docm, pptx, xlsx, ...


for the sake of "compatibility"

*or*

recognize each file type on it's own to give
the users a better control about the content type.

What do you think?


btw: We've just contributed example Office documents
to the file-tests test suite:
https://github.com/christian-intra2net/file-tests/tree/office-types

Those files are good samples for toying with this stuff.

Cheers,
Thomas
