OKok. Looking inside the file will solve the problem *IF* the stuff inside
is right, and/or if we can recognize it. I say draw the line somewhere.
Some twit will trash the file header and then we would have to analyze the

(Diday Screwus Orwho). I say: Dewey Screwem Orwhat.
Also, new ideas would have to be blessed in code, instead of just added to
mime.cfg. I recognize your point re: perfection. It's just not worth the
added effort IMHO. <G>
