You could always open the file if "file" cannot detect it.

This! Is! Linux!
How often do you ever need to use "file", whiner? I did use it a few days ago
to discover that a .po file was using ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 encoding.

A lot of Linux file managers use the file's magic number to display a>
file type in the same way Windows does. Also, Windows doesn't know
every file type, there are plenty that just display the generic
"[EXT] file".
