> Mime type detection of the attached file, an ASCII file, reports application/octect-stream. The negative result is caused by ASCII-extended characters in the file; TextStatistics.isMostlyAscii() calls return false. We could try to call TextDetector.detect() two times: if the first call fails, then we can try to convert bytes in utf-8 and call it again. What do you think?
