Not as is, but it would not be hard to do.  For example, you could edit
the SWISH::Filter module to use the file(1) or perhaps the "file" Perl
module and then map to a content-type from that output.

As an example, you can see how Mime::Types is used in the SWISH::Filter
module to set the content-type from the file name.
