> if a plain text file is named with ".","o","g", and "g"

what is the interest to write it that way rather than ".ogg"? People reading bugs here know what a filename looks like, no need to spell every letter. Same for the .c description...

Anyway your issue is that you give a filename not matching the detected mimetype which can be considered as a try to get the user running something without noticing (a number of windows breakage come from such situation by example)

Anyway that's a known issue and a duplicate, marking as such
