How to edit filetypes rules file with these specific filetypes

[Jules Field]

You don't have to specify both of the "file" and "file -i" output 
substrings in each line, you only need to specify one of them.

But otherwise, your rules look okay to me. Feed some test messages 
through and watch the logs.

Hope that helps,
Jules.
