Yes.

So you try to fix a bug in mime-support by advising people to install
gnumed-client???  And I'm actually not sure that your entry is correct
because /etc/mime.types has

  image/x-ms-bmp                                  bmp

Are you sure that you are using the right mimetype definition.  And are
you also sure that the way you are using this really works?  I doubt
that mime-support is seeking /etc/gnumed - so you would have to register
this type anyway properly (or is there some other mechanism)?

In how far is bmp GNUmed typical?

Kind regards
