In contrast to func! and command! ,au! removes all autocommands
in the current group.

What you want is this :

augroup filetypedetect
au!
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.plt setfiletype gnuplot
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.txt setfiletype text
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.VHD setfiletype vhdl
au BufRead,BufNewFile */mail/* setfiletype mail
au BufRead,BufNewFile /tmp/$USER/man* setfiletype man
augroup END

autocommands are not unique like functions, if you define them more then
once, they'll be executed multiple times. Thats the whole reason for
defining a augroup and doing a au! in it, in case the files get sourced
more then one time.
