I am *very* much in favor of something like that. I routinely get
graphics from someone in California who uses OE, and 90% of the jpg
files are shown by his software as being /tiff
Under those conditions Arachne just sits there and says "now what, d00d"
and I have to alt-E, modify the content of the message to reflect /jfif
and reload the mail. That's a damn pain, but the dozerware b00b can't
get it through his head that his browser is misclassifying stuff.
