New description:
If a content-type is not in the form "type/subtype", Mutt
handles it incorrectly.
Example
Content-Type: x-sun-attachment
Display of this content type: application/x-X-sun-attachment
and not displaying the contents directly.
Expected behaviour: Because it is not a MIME message, one may
assume that the message contains some form of plain text.
So I expect the displayed content type is
either "text/x-sun-attachment" or just "x-sun-attachment"
with the contents of this part directly shown in the pager.
