Comment(by olly):

 This post has a suggested change to allow this:

 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.general/8598

 But with the recent omindex changes, it might be cleaner to add a way to
 say "don't try to extract text from this MIME content-type".  With trunk,
 I think this should actually already work (I've not actually tested it
 though):

 {{{-Mjpg:image/jpeg -Mjpeg:image/jpeg -Fimage/jpeg:/bin/true}}}

 But it's not the most obvious interface, and we want to avoid running
 /bin/true in a subshell for each such file.
