When filing a new bug report, bugzilla treats attached files as binary rather then text/plain (making them more difficult to view). Unfortunately, it doesn't allow to choose the content type manually (it only works when javascript support is turned off in a browser, or when adding an attachment to already existing bug report).

No what is happening is your browser is sending this mime type when it did the upload.  There is not much bugzilla can do.

It could either ignore mime type as sent by the browser, or show the "Content Type" section.
