   If you are speaking of playing these from your computer, then they   
   should be identified as the file type by name, i.e. adding .wmv to a   
   windows movie file   
      
   A mime type is used if sending them via email to enable them to be   
   identified by the email/news reader as they occur. You do not usually   
   need to assign a specific mime type   
      
   If you are getting files in mail that are not named correctly, i.e. no   
   suffix, then tell whomever is sending them to name them properly
