Gnome (and KDE, IIRC) currently uses application/x-abiword. In the past
when I've downloaded attachments from the list archives they've been
application/abiword.
Part of the cleanup I'm doing is removing the remains of text/abiword,
but I could put it back if there is strong consensus on text/abiword,
and consensus on a separate type (aplication/x-abiword-compressed?) for
.zabw files.

But you can't do "rpm -qf /usr/bin/abiword" if you're confused, or do
"rpm -V abiword" to discover that the link is gone.
Imagine that grandma somehow manages to delete /usr/bin/abiword, if the
link is part of the installed files tools such as Red Carpet will be
able to tell her that she has a damaged package and fix it for her.
