[imp] problem with attachments in unicode (UTF16)

[Philip Steeman]

Hello,
is it a solution to map certain extensions to the correct mime types 
(not perfect but enough for me).

e.g.:
.rdp --> Content-Type: text/plain;
      --> Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
.sav --> Content-Type: text/plain;
      --> Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

best solution: via a configuration-file

other possibility: can I hardcode it anywhere in the source?

Philip
