That's what Mutt says when it can't find a mailcap entry with a "print="
command to tell it how to print a file of that type.

Mutt doesn't choose mime types based on filename, unless it is SENDING
such a document.  The person who SENT you this file put a weird mime
type on it, probably because their MUA is misconfigured.  There's little
you can do about that.  Mutt doesn't have any ability to edit the MIME
type.  Since this problem does come up from time to time, it's too bad
that Mutt trusts the information so implicitly.

Best work-around is to pipe-message to your print command.
