Comment:

 I don't think this is a solution.
 There are many files that are not binary but also not useful in plaintext.
 And there are many files that are useful in plaintext but are not in the
 text/ group.

 I think it would be better to offer the user both options view and
 download right in the attachments list. The default should be what the
 mime-type dictates. For binary files (heuristic) the view-option could be
 hidden or deactivated.
 For files in the image/ group the view-option should be activated and mean
 "view as image".
