No, it's not my local, it's .LRN. But you are right, it doesn't use the "bio_mime_type", it doesn't even store it... It converts it from/to HTML each time it is edited (gross!).

So, yeah, dropping bio_mime_type won't hurt.

Yes, exactly. The behavior is totally bizarre and probably confusing to users.

I think we all agree that rich text is the right way to go, but I don't have time to do it right now.
