Hopefully, the text/plain mimetype files are usually correctly displayed (see this file for instance).

Here the error comes from the fact that libmagic erroneously detected the file as binary.

file --mime-type --mime-encoding ~/Téléchargements/ias_state_of_art.bib 
/home/antoine/Téléchargements/ias_state_of_art.bib: application/octet-stream; charset=binary

The real problem here is the displayed error message in the webapp and it should be improved.

Sounds like a bug in libmagic, this file is valid UTF-8.

We should still fix the error message, though.

Ack. I will change the task priority to normal as it is not a critical issue.
