Try reversing the order of these two lines. The mailcap is searched
top down and the first match is used. If you change the order of
these two lines, view-attach will find acroread first while auto-view
ignores acroread and uses pdf2txt because it only uses copiousoutput
lines.
BTW: does it make sense to combine "needsterminal" and "copiousoutput"
in one mailcap entry? As far as I understand they are quite contrary,
because "needsterminal" needs a terminal with user input while
"copiousoutput" pipes the output to some kind of pipe.
So I would change the above entries to something like this:
application/pdf; acroread %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
application/pdf; pdf2txt %s; copiousoutput
Tschoeeee
