Hm..
Suppose you want to attach say 10 files, which are of the "wrong type",
application/octet-stream instead of 
then you are suggesting a simple query replace!?

The  Problem which this approach  is that I don't know
by heart the correct type, for example is it plain/text or text/plain??

While if I use mml-attach-file, present you a list of options. I presume
the next step is you propose a simple function which covers the most
useful changes?
