?? this doesn't seem particularly related to PG! Anyway...

mime-types are conventionally associated with files, not variables.
if you want to do input validation maybe you could write (or find) a
parser? a set of regexs are normally easy and formal enough for simple
purposes.

Most languages contain code for parsing mime encoded documents; python
makes this sort of thing reasonably easy if you want to stay reasonably
low level or there are lots of frameworks around to simplify things.
