User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0
Steps to reproduce:
Get a mail with an attachment containing Python code and an .py extension but has Content-Type: text/plain;.
Open attachment.
Actual results:
Thunderbird considers attachment as plain text and does not offer to open it with my Python IDE.
Expected results:
Thunderbird could have checked the actual content of the attachment (with eg. the mimetype program under Linux) and displayed a warning about the inconsistency and offered to treat the attachment as text/x-python.
