You can find out what has installed itself into /etc/mailcap by running
the command:
install-mime --list
Netscape is slow because it runs all the test conditions at startup.
It runs them incorrectly, too, thus causing many of the test conditions
to fail.

Removing them from /etc/mailcap is not a solution. The next time a package
installs itself there, that file will be regenerated with all the lines
intact.
