We getting ready to role out roundcube for our webmail platform and our
testing ran into one issue so far that seems like a good idea to push
upstream.  I searched but didn't find any mention of this so please
pardon in advance if this has already been discussed.

One of our testers had an email with a pdf attachment that had a mime
type of text/plain.  Roundcube displays the pdf as text.  We tested a
few other clients and it looks like recent version of outlook and
apple mail display the attachment as a pdf but thunderbird displays it
as plain text so there isn't unanimous that a mail client should handle
this either way.

What is roundcubes opinion on attachments with incorrect mime types?
There's a pretty good argument that a end user doesn't really care that
whoever sent them an attachment used broken software to do it,
particularly if they use another client that displays it correctly.
