this is a great question that leads to an ast answer
and to my relief (because I'm traditionally the worst documenter) its documented
see "manual => C LIBRARY => magic" in the /sw/download/ nav
mailx(1) uses magic(3)
magic(3) is the ast interface to the ast lib/file/magic file
the 5th field is the mime type
if the binary file has a magic file entry with a mime field then it will be
properly identified
look at $INSTALLROOT/lib/file/magic and compare it with the output from
file --mime *
if the binary file type has no magic entry then contruct your own in mymagic
and test with
file --mime=- --mime=mymagic *
and then send the magic entry to the list
