Look at the mutt config here:
http://aperiodic.net/phil/configs/
Mostly look at the mailcap[1] and the script[2]. The mailcap file just
sends all octet-streams through a script which uses `file` to determine
the type of the file.
application/octet-stream; ~/bin/mutt.octet.filter %s; copiousoutput
I've attached the script (which looks to be under the GPL, so attaching
it here should be ok).

#
# Here is how I use it. In my ~/.mutt_mailcap (use your filename of
# choice) I have the following entry:
#
# application/octet-stream; mutt.octet.filter %s; copiousoutput
#
# All you then need to do is add a line like:
#
# auto_view application/octet-stream
#
# to your ~/.muttrc (use your filename of choice).
#
# In it's current state the script isn't perfect, it's your typical
# "works for me" type of script and is offered in the hope that it
# maybe handy and that you can do something with it.
