For those storing MIME types in their databases, what have you used for
the length of the column? We were using 50, but we've had two different
clients attempt to upload something w/a max length of 71 in the last 2
days. 100 seems like a logical number, by 71 is close to 100, should I
go to 200? 500? The standard defines no maximum value.
