when you attached your .mh_profile, thanks to an underlying
"file --mime-type" invocation, it gained a content-type of
"message/news".
Was that because the file name began with a dot?
Nmh uses file(1) to look into a file to determine what the MIME type is
(if you're using a new enough version of file(1)). Why did it think it
was a netnews file? Because of these lines in the magic(5) database:
0 string Path: news text
!:mime message/news
--Ken
