Sorry I thought the other way round where we get a file without a mimetype then guess the mimetype

I think it'd make sense to move this directly into the engine. So, if a subject is inserted with an empty interpretation (which seems to be allowed currently), we'll try to determine it from the mime-type. This will avoid duplicating the mime-type mappings in different bindings. It'll be even more useful for clients using the D-Bus API directly (such as GTK+).
