I'm thinking that I could just create a new file data/mime and put the
following in it:
[mime]
command = file --mime-encoding {files}
It seems to work, but when it is run, most non-text files just read as
'binary', so I doubt that this would be very helpful. If file is run
without the --mime-encoding flag, it normally guesses correctly, but it
doesn't present it in a 'mime' format.
