title: What is the correct MIME type for a CSV File created by Excel with semicolon as separator
body: <p>I work in Switzerland, where the semicolon <code>;</code> is the "official" list separator in Windows' regional settings.</p>
  
  <p>Excel uses this separator when creating CSV files. </p>
  
  <p>In RFC 4180 the CSV file is defined as <em>comma</em> separated and has the mime type of <code>text/csv</code> associated. My file does not conform to this definition. </p>
  
  <p>I'm using <code>application/vnd.ms-excel</code> instead, but I'm not satisfied by declaring it an "Excel" file, since it's an application independent <em>semicolon-separated</em> file.</p>
  
  <p>What would the correct MIME type be?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
