We getting ready to role out roundcube for our webmail platform and our testing ran into one issue so far that seems like a good idea to push upstream. I searched but didn't find any mention of this so please pardon in advance if this has already been discussed.
One of our testers had an email with a pdf attachment that had a mime type of text/plain. Roundcube displays the pdf as text. We tested a few other clients and it looks like recent version of outlook and apple mail display the attachment as a pdf but thunderbird displays it as plain text so there isn't unanimous that a mail client should handle this either way.
What is roundcubes opinion on attachments with incorrect mime types? There's a pretty good argument that a end user doesn't really care that whoever sent them an attachment used broken software to do it, particularly if they use another client that displays it correctly.

This might be also a security issue, so in 0.9 we improved mimetype detection. I suppose you're on 0.8, right?

0.8.5 [GIT 20130325.1504]
Is 0.9 close enough that a new install should start out with it?
