The email normaliser has had recent work. Can you see if this is still a bug please?

[Allan Cunliffe]

Tested in Testing Branch Xena 5.0.1 - Archive plugin 1.2.5b12, Email plugin 3.2.4b12.

Tested three VMBX files in Xena. All passed normalisation but all three were guessed as different formats: CSV, plaint-text and non-standard plain text.

Even though VMBX is not a supported format, we should flag it as such. For example, with Visio we guess as "Visio (unsupported)".
