  Use a Different MIME Type:
  
  If the MIME type you are trying to add is indeed necessary, consider using a different, unique MIME type that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on managing MIME types in your specific version of SAP CRM.
