Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.11+cvs20060403-1

When trying to attach
http://www.cip.ifi.lmu.de/~bleher/mutt-mime-bug.tar.gz , mutt assigns
the file the type and encoding "text/plain, quoted, utf-8", even though the
file is a perfectly valid tar.gz - file(1) reports "gzip compressed data,
from Unix" and I can unpack the contents with tar.
This wrong encoding causes the file to be corrupted so it cannot be
unpacked by the receiver.
I often send .tar.gz files using this mutt config so this seems peculiar
to this .tar.gz.
Just to be sure I also tried it on a fresh account without any user
config, and mutt had the same problem.

This is on an Ubuntu Dapper system, but with the Debian mutt package, so
I thought I'd report it here.
