My ISP emails invoices+receipts as PDF files.  Thay made a change in
the "mime type" earlier this year that makes things more difficult...

Before
======
[-- Attachment #2: blah_blah_blah.pdf --]
[-- Type: application/pdf, Encoding: base64, Size: 47K --]

[-- application/pdf is unsupported (use 'v' to view this part) --]

After
=====
[-- Attachment #2: blah_blah_blah.pdf --]
[-- Type: application/octet-stream, Encoding: base64, Size: 79K --]

[-- application/octet-stream is unsupported (use 'v' to view this part) --]

  With "Type: application/pdf" I hit "v" and epdfview brought up the
document.  With "Type: application/octet-stream" I have to save the
attachment and manually open with epdfview.  Mime-type is useless in
this situation.  Is there a way to force the file to be opened based on
extension rather than mime type?
