Thanks for tackling this! I think having a flag like only-content makes
sense.

I tested this a bit and there seems to be one issue, steps to reproduce:

- add a What object with a Content Type Filter for application/pdf,
enable the new "Ignore header information" flag

- create a rule that blocks incoming mails matching this What object

- send an email with a random 1K blob as attachment that sets
Content-Type: application/pdf and some non-descriptive filename for the
attachment:

swaks --from [...] --to [...] --server [...] --attach-type
application/pdf --attach-name foo.bin --attach <(dd if=/dev/urandom
bs=1k count=1)

The email is blocked by the rule. But I would expect it to be accepted,
because the `xdg_mime_get_mime_type_for_data` shouldn't recognize the
random blob as PDF, and the user-provided Content-Type application/pdf
should be ignored.

I think the email is accepted because the magic ct [1] defaults to the
user-provided Content-Type and since `xdg_mime_get_mime_type_for_data`
returns application/octet-stream, we're keep it at the user-provided
Content-Type. I guess it would be nicer if the magic wouldn't default to
the user-provided Content-Type if "Ignore header information" is
enabled, but I'm not sure how easily this can be done.
