No, PIL won'.t It isn't brilliant but that's how it works. Try and think  
through the converse: this could be JPEG but I'll work my way through the  
alternatives till I'm sure. In your situation it seems perfectly  
reasonable to expect the MIME-type to be available, so you can enforce it  
in the form handling.
