I was unclear.

The "current issue" is that doing C-x C-f etc/gnus.pbm opens the file
in "binary" mode, ready to be edited.  Event hitting C-c C-c asks me to
confirm what I really want to view it.  IMO, that's "pretty silly".

Yes, auto-detection as such seems to be ok -- the only problem is to
solve ambiguities (to me Chong's latest approach looks promising).
