[imp] Wrong mimetype

[Michael M Slusarz]

Quoting Anders Thorsby <anders@thorsby.dk>:

| But...the solution below would be very great! However, it does not solves
| the 
| problem for incoming mail. There will still be many other (broken) mail
| clients 
| out there, sending with a wrong mimetype.
| Is it correct understood that, application/octet-stream just means it's a
| binary stream, not associated with anything specific?
| Could one introduce the MIME_Magic:: detection on incoming mail as well?

Check the newest HEAD branch - there is initial support for "educated 
guessing" for MIME types that are labeled "application/octet-stream".  The 
UI needs to be improved, but the basic functionality is there.

here is a screenshot:

A Note on potential UIs: The application/octet-stream stuff MUST remain 
there, MUST remain the first option, and the guessed results must NEVER be 
shown inline.  This is all to remain compliant with the RFCs.
