My beef with gmail is that it completely destroys mimetypes. Everything that gmail postgres contributors send (from the web interface) seems to always be application/octet-stream, which is really annoying for configuring my email client.

Yea. I've long since given up on that ever being correct. Too many people with too many mail clients. Thus for many mime types I just force that to be redone:

  mime_lookup application/octet-stream application/x-gzip application/gzip application/x-bzip2 binary/octet-stream application/x-download invalid/octet-stream
Not that that's a good answer...
