I am rather confused by these questions. Media types appears in the 
Content-Type header. Applications decide how to treat content basing on 
media type description. E.g. Thunderbird may be configured to display 
text attachments inline, but if the same attachment uses 
application/vnd.lotus-organizer then an external application must be 
invoked to see its text.

De-facto Org files are used in various projects. Received or fetched Org 
files must be treated with some precautions, but it is another story.
