the comp.mail.mime FAQ, part 4:

http://www.netmeg.net/faq/computers/mail/mime/04.html

A list of IANA media types:

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types
 (it's a text file, Netscape will display it)

A memo, RFC2376, "XML Media Types", July 1998, by Whitehead & Murata

http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc2376.html
