    Description

      MBOX file doesn't get recognized via "magic detection" mechanism as "application/mbox", but wrongly as "text/html".

      Workaround for this in Tika 1.13 is achieved by placing following in custom-mimetypes.xml, as suggested on mailing list (priority has to be larger than message/rfc822):
      <mime-type type="application/mbox">
      <magic priority="70">
      <match value="From " type="string" offset="0"/>
      </magic>
      <glob pattern="*.mbox"/>
      </mime-type>

      Sample MBOX file is attached.
