A simple question does come to mind when looking at the different articles surrounding this topic.
Whats the difference between:

“application/vnd.ms-excel” and “application/ms-excel”

Update: Found the answer here :

  application/vnd.ms-excel

  see http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.ms-excel

  so don't use any of these:
    application/ms-excel
    application/msexcel
    application/excel
    application/x-ms-excel
    application/x-msexcel
    application/x-excel
    application/octet-stream
