Outlook .dat files detected as DOS executable by Linux file binary

[Valentin Laskov]

Try

/usr/bin/file --mime-type 240000.dat

If you like the result, you can make

File Command = /usr/local/bin/file-wrapper

#cat /usr/local/bin/file-wrapper

#!/bin/bash
#
#
/usr/bin/file --mime-type "$1"

Cheers! :)
