 {{{
 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.)
