FileType rules show executable even though file shows data -- Please help fix.

Hello Everyone,

I searched through my entire quarantine folder and grep'd for files named in this format msg-12341-1.txt. 
I scanned them with file and file -i. The following are the results.
I entered them into my filetype.conf.rules and it seems to work.

allow   ASCII English text, with escape sequences       text/plain; charset=us-ascii    -       -
allow   ASCII text      text/plain; charset=us-ascii    -       -
allow   DOS executable  text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1  -       -
allow   DOS executable  text/plain; charset=unknown     -       -
allow   DOS executable  text/plain; charset=utf-8       -       -
allow   DOS executable  text/x-mail; charset=unknown    -       -
allow   DOS executable  text/x-mail; charset=utf-8      -       -
allow   HTML document text      text/html       -       -
allow   UTF-8 Unicode English text      text/plain; charset=utf-8       -       -

I tested that I'm not inadvertently letting DOS executables through, and it they remain blocked. 
It appears that when both 2/5 and 3/5 are true, they are a match and thus allowed through. 
If someone could verify that would be nice.

In the time when I didn't have a solution, 
I changed the /usr/bin/file to /usr/bin/file -i just to alleviate the problem. 
But I think this one solves it, but I don't know whether this is the right way to do it.

I have prepended to my filetype.rules.conf.
