▶️ text/garbage, should display or fail gracefully
Response handling by clients should be informed by the provided MIME type information. Gemini defines one MIME type of its own (text/gemini) whose handling is discussed below in section 5. In all other cases, clients should do "something sensible" based on the MIME type. Minimalistic clients might adopt a strategy of printing all other text/* responses to the screen without formatting and saving all non-text responses to the disk. Clients for unix systems may consult /etc/mailcap to find installed programs for handling non-text types.
