Veto. If you want to ignore the subtype, name the rule __CTYPE_MULTIPART_ANY.

because I've also recall them coming in as multipart/related.  The
inbuilt rule only looked for "image/jpeg", so:

mimeheader __ANY_IMAGE_ATTACH    Content-Type =~ /image\/(?:gif|jpe?g|png)/

I've just submitted a bug for that. Amazing nobody has noticed it until now.

I don't think image/jpg is a standard MIME type, so we could also create:

mimeheader MIME_IMAGE_JPG       Content-Type =~ /image\/jpg/
describe MIME_IMAGE_JPG         contains wrong MIME type image\/jpg
score MIME_IMAGE_JPG            1.0

...that might be why. :)

I think image with not text in the body part at all is pretty rare, but
I might do something like that if I was sending a picture to myself.

I think most mailers will do that if you compose a message and drop an image on it without entering any text. The multipart/mixed with _no_ text body parts at all is pretty clearly spam.
