You're not supposed to source the mailcap file. That is NOT a mutt 
configuration file, it is a generic file with a specific format that 
many programs can use. The lines in the mailcap are NOT mutt commands, 
so mutt cannot understand them in the context of reading its own 
configuration. As long as the mailcap file is where it's supposed to 
be (either ~/.mailcap or /etc/mailcap), mutt will find it and use it.
