Current mutt port (but older ones as well)

>Description:

There is a bug in the mutt sources for quite a while now which hits
when attaching something of content-type video. In mime.h we find
the types defined as enum. They go up to 8 for TYPEVIDEO. In mutt.h
in line 509 the component type of the BODY structure is defined with
only 3 bits:

  unsigned int type : 3;        /* content-type primary type */
  unsigned int encoding : 3;    /* content-transfer-encoding */
  unsigned int disposition : 2; /* content-disposition */

So TYPEVIDEO is always mapped to TYPEOTHER. I have send a message
to the mutt developers but never got a reply. Now I think it
might good to patch this thing in the port.

>How-To-Repeat:

Send the file bla.avi with mutt
