What are the other mailcap clients you are thinking of?  The only other
ones I've used are netscape and metamail, both of which always generate
their own non-weird filenames (as far as I can tell), so quoting is a
non-issue for them.

The user's shell is irrelevant, because UNIX mailcap entries are
intended to be passed to the Bourne shell (according to the RFC).

The RFC is ambiguous about the nature of the %s substitution, but it
provides example mailcap entries, none of which have quotes around the
%s.
