How can I make apache recognize different MIME
types?

You use one or more AddType directives in an .htaccess file located in or above the directory where you want the new types to be recognized.

The .htaccess file is just a plain text file with 1 directive per line like:

AddType text/html .html
AddType image/gif .gif

The AddType directive is fully documented at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype

If you want to let people download an OpenOffice document with an .odt
extension and are having a problem with binary data from the document
opening inside the browser, just add the following directive to  an
.htaccess file located above all the directories where you want it to
operate:

   AddType application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text .odt

Doing that will change the behavior to make the user's browser prompt to
either open the document with OpenOffice (or some other application) or
"Save to Disk."
