The case in point is an application that sends a report to a few people as

(I'm actually surprised that there is nothing like application/plaintext
for this case, but I could not identify such a type in a web search.)
Personally, I think anything using "application/octet-stream" for any ASCII
text anything is Doing It Wrong.
If it's really just pure ASCII text, "text/plain" would be a lot better.
+1 - that application is behaving in a very spammy manner.
Also (making an assumption here), you should probably save processing
overhead by bypassing internal automatically-generated emails in your
glue.
