As /usr/share/tracker/extract-rules/10-msoffice.rule silently gets
reverted with updates for tracker-extract, it is very annoying to have
tracker running without any functionality.

PLEASE ADD application/msword TO /usr/share/tracker/extract-
rules/10-msoffice.rule, as otherwise tracker is of no use for people who
must make use of MS-office formats!!!

Title:
  tracker does not look into ms-word files

Status in tracker package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  MS-Word files are report as having MimeType application/msword which
  is not listed in /usr/share/tracker/extract-rules/10-msoffice.rule

  if application/msword is added to the list of supported MimeTypes
  tracker works fine

  to reproduce the problem create a MS-Word file (anyfile.doc) and run:

  /usr/lib/tracker/tracker-extract -f anyfile.doc

  this produces beside some other output the following error:

  MIME type guessed as 'application/msword' (from GIO)
