New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>:

The default mime-type for attachments is currently application/octet-stream.
This makes it uselessly complicated to view attachments in the browser, while 
most of them are really text files. Examples are when people upload file 
without an extension (which is common among Unix users), or unrecognized 
extensions (such as .log or others).

I would therefore like the default mime-type to be text/plain. It would save us 
manual changes.
