Sorry, I do not know.
If found this:
application/java-archive                jar
application/java-serialized-object      ser
application/java-vm                     class

But don't think it's a standard...

Thank you anyway. If it's not a kind of standard, it is not necessary
to change anything to mew, I'll simply 't' to toggle to binary :-)

Thank you for your time,
