Done. If "file --mime" or "file -i" are supported, nmh will
configure to use them for all files that are attach'ed via whatnow.

Retained as a fallback when configure doesn't find one of the
above. I wouldn't be surprised if we run into a platform with a
"file -i" that doesn't do what we want, so with a bit of effort
we could fall back to it there. Though the fallback wouldn't be
automatic.
