As I said, the MIME type says what kind of file it is, not if it's 
executable or not.

Everything that is human-readable text (i.e., character oriented, with 
new-lines and such) is text/*. Anything else is binary.

The two main differences are that text can't have a NUL and it has a 
special sequence that stands for "end of line" -- and when transmitted 
over network, such as in email attachments, that sequence is *always* CR 
+ LF.

So, if you can edit it in a text editor, it's text/*.
