Thanks Kyle yes that worked.
Though, it got me confused a bit. I think the command line is totally
separate environment when it comes to file association in mutt.
In KDE when I click on PDF file I have several choice I can open it
with, the default is KPDF. Mutt runs from KDE terminal windows so why
can it find a single file association.
I have only mailcap in:
/home/joseph/.mailcap
/etc/mailcap
Is KDE file association connected via mime.types files?
