Looking into this, I'm not really sure how to improve this - the option right above -F makes it pretty clear that the MIME type can comes from the file extension: 

  -M, --mime-type=EXT:TYPE map file extension EXT to MIME Content-Type TYPE
                           (empty TYPE removes any MIME mapping for EXT)

And if we add too much verbiage here, it stops being so useful for quick reference and ends up just duplicating the main documentation.

Thoughts?
