I mean "using a standard MIME type", where by "standard" I mean one
that a random email client might actually use when constructing an
email message with an attachment. You can invent your own MIME types,
and that can work OK with Web servers, but email clients won't know to
use them, generally.

Only if the file is of that format.

Most map file extensions to MIME types, AFAIK.

I would have expected that the Email app would use the MIME type
embedded in the email information for the attachment, and that the
MIME type would therefore have appeared in the Intent.
Make sure the email you are looking at has the MIME types in it, by
looking at the raw email message itself.

I will be fairly stunned if you ever get that to work. I suggest that
you reconsider the use of email as a means of distributing your files.
For example, if your emails have links to files, and the files are
served by Web servers, you have much greater control over how MIME
types are handled.
