[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#769039: Chromium seems to support viewing MHTML, but the mimetype is missing from chromium.desktop

[Dmitry Alexandrov]

Package: chromium
Version: 38.0.2125.101-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer, as I see it, Chromium is able to open MHTML files
(application/x-mimearchive, *.mhtml / *.mht) ‘out of a box’€™, without
installing any extensions or enabling option to save pages in
MHTML-archives in chrome://flags.

But the mimetype is not listed in chromium.desktop, so the system (and
then, probably, many users) is unaware about it.
