^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
don't trust mutt what it tells you about the mime type. it *trims*
the string according to a variable whose name I can't recall ATM.
it's probably application/vnd.ms-excel
you will prolly want to look in /usr/local/etc/mime.types in the future
btw, doesn't the mutt manual explicitly tell you to *not* put the %s
expando in single quotes? (I might be confusing this with urlview)
