Oh and I should draw the obvious conclusion about PHP. If you attach a ".php" file to an email, you do not intend for the recipient to execute it. PHP files should not be executed routinely; rather, they should be executed only when that is clearly intended. So *.php should be text/x-php. The same applies to Perl, Python, etc. If it is conventional to drop files called *.php into webserver trees, without marking them executable or configuring the webserver for them, and expect the webserver to execute them, then that is a matter for the webserver and not something that should be done via the mime type system.
