viewing pdf from mutt - procmail question?



I can view pdf attachments from mutt if they have mime headers like

 Content-Type: application/pdf; name="file.pdf"

However I get quite a few emails with

 Content-Type: application/octet-stream

Does anyone have a reliable way for modifying the Content-Type and
changing octet-stream to a useable type (pdf in this case)? The
"Content-Type: application/octet-stream" may appear before or after
any of the fields that provide the filename. I'd like to add something
like this to my procmail recipes.

Here's part of an example:
