I think what Svante is saying is that the "bogus" MIME type is known
only to Evolution: it's the content encoding on the email message.  Once
Evolution saves the file to disk, it's just a normal PDF file.  When
Nautilus properties are opened, they use file(1) or whatever to discover
the type of the file and call it application/pdf, NOT the bogus MIME
type it was sent with in the email message.

So, how do you manage this bogus MIME type?

Isn't there any MIME type editor available?  It would be SOOOO much
simpler, in many cases.
