This behavior of file(1) has been noted in the past:
$ file --brief --mime-type .mh_profile
message/news
file looks for a text line starting with "Path:", and a few
other tokens that don't matter here, and reports the type as
message/news if it finds it. If I insert a different line,
it gets around that:
$ cat .mh_profile
Profile-Version: 1.0
Path: Mail
$ file --brief --mime-type .mh_profile
text/plain
$ file --version
file-5.14
magic file from /etc/magic:/usr/share/misc/magic
If there are no other suggestions, I'll have install-mh
insert that line into its newly generated profiles. Those
of us who mail our profiles as attachments might want to
insert it in our own.
