David, this commit is really a pain for web developers and script languages. 
Often people in that area use non-standard file extensions to designated e.g. 
include files. Drupal for example uses the generic ".inc" extension and with 
the change above those files are seen as plain text. It's a huge annoyance and 
imo a regression compared to the releases before where this worked just fine.

So again, please tell me what problem you had here and why you did the change. 
Imo it is only reasonable for files without any extension, since for the 
others the mimetype should only be checked once. I'll integrate a change how 
that only prevents mimetype checking for files without any extension, but 
please clarify that this was really the issue you had.

Bye
