Re: [Nmh-workers] another MIME failure, this time it's the C-T

Content-Type: file/pdf;

"file" is not a registered Media Type according to IANA:

Yeah, that's completely mega-bozo.  According to my reading of RFC 2046,
you're allowed to treat unknown _subtypes_ as application/octet-stream
(well, it depends), but it is mum on what's supposed to happen if
you get an unknown top-level type.  Should we just treat this as
application/octet-stream?  I am assuming that in all other respects
it was a correctly formatted MIME message.
