    The foolable heuristic Mutt uses to guess text or binary attachment
type would not be used at all if there was a tar.gz entry in one of the
mime.types files. Example I have this line in /usr/local/etc/mime.types
(straight from Mutt tarball):

| application/x-tar-gz          tgz tar.gz

    And attaching your file shows [applica/x-tar-gz, base64, 1,4K].

    I have no idea who is responsible for the mime.types file(s).
Perhaps the "mime-support" or such package? Please feel free to reassign
or close where/if applicable.


    In the meantime you can add the said line to ~/.mime.types


Bye!    Alain.
