I see! Okay... I'll consider a solution to the filetype portion of the mimetypes map. Do you happen to know which other modules may depend on that structure?

Yes... the lightning is silly.

That link should do for our purposes here.

The fact that it is an 'x-' mimetype means it has not been approved at any level. There might be an in progress application to the mimetype registry, but if so the web site doesn't mention it anywhere obvious.

I'm not sure about the filetype problem, but I'm guessing amp isn't the only mimetype that will have this issue going forward, so we probably need to come up with a solution. You don't need support from the mimetypes module to create or manipulate emails using the content-type, though, so it isn't a blocker on that side.

That lightning thing is seriously hokey :(
