  • nio SDK
    • weechat-matrix (does not seem to use anything)
    • mirage
  • Riot Element Android
  • Riot Element iOS
  • Riot Element Web
    • the decryptFile function only gets passed the file property from the contents. To fix this, we'd need to either pass both the file and info properties, or the entire contents.
  • rust sdk (does not seem to do any mimetype processing on its own)

Element Android dropped this field in element-hq/element-android#3273. Element iOS in matrix-org/matrix-ios-sdk#1125. The open issue for Element Web is element-hq/element-web#17145.

Element no longer uses this field, and uses the mimetype from the info field: matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#6591 (It will still send the field for now, but that's less important for this MSC)

OK, so it seems like all clients don't use the undocumented field any more, so I think it this potential issue is no longer an issue.


## Proposal
The example in the spec currently lists `mimetype` in the examples for `EncryptedFile` but not in

Just to note that the EncryptedFile appears twice in the examples: in the file property (top-level) and it info.thumbnail_file. mimetype is given in both places.
