{{{
According to RFC 1524, the MUA should obtain its configuration
information from the first matching entry in the mailcap file.
Accordingly update-mime allows for a priority field to put the entries
in a certain order, as does mailcap.order.
However Mutt either does not respect the order or is actually pulling
the last entry, rather than the first. For instance my /etc/mailcap
lists elinks before lynx, which is how it is supposed to work under the
update-mime system. However, Mutt is using lynx to show HTML messages
rather than elinks. I'll attach the /etc/mailcap file. (Note that using
autoview from the pager seems to work correctly; it's only when viewing
attachments using 'v' that this seems to be a problem.)
