MIME types and extensions

I have the following line in my .mailcap file so I can inspect
octet-stream files before doing anything else with them:

application/octet-stream;emacs %s 2>/dev/null

This works fine unless the filename extension is .txt, in which case
pine claims "Display Method  : Can't, Unknown Attachment Format".  I
realize that display of text is a special case in Pine (or any other
MUA), but it does not seem that the extension should affect this
display decision.

This is in 4.53 (I know, gotta update).
