MCP patching SpamAssassin

[Julian Field]

Hash: SHA1

After looking at the source for 3.2.1, I have come up with a far easier 
way of making SpamAssassin search binary attachments as well as just 
text and HTML, when doing MCP tests.

The new method involves just a single 1-line patch to Util.pm.

This will be in the next release, and should be far simpler to maintain 
across future versions, as it works at a much lower level, in a utility 
function for reading the MIME type of an attachment.

I would advise anyone using SpamAssassin version 3.2.0 or higher to 
switch to the new method when I release it.
