Don't. The best solution is to add the following to your muttrc:

     mime_lookup application/octet-stream

You'll (almost) never have to edit an attachment type again!

What that does is tells mutt that attachments of that mime-type should 
be opened up according to their filename, so as long as the file they 
send ends in .pdf you're in good shape!
