broofa/node-mime v1.4.1 is referenced by pillarjs/send v0.16.2, which in turn is referenced by expressjs/express v4.16.4.

pillarjs/send upgraded broofa/node-mime to v1.6.0, which was merged by pillarjs/send#154 about 6 weeks ago.

So this appears to be resolved, but is currently waiting on expressjs/express to get an upgraded pillarjs/send version that has this update. Once that happens, I can update this project.
