Mutt looks in other places for your mailcap file as well, so if
you don't find what you're looking for there, look in the mutt 
manual, chapter 5, section 3, "MIME Viewer configuration with 
mailcap", for a list of those other places.  To find the values of 
the $PKGDATADIR and $SYSCONFDIR symbols mentioned there, execute

   mutt -v

from the shell.  You might also want to execute this command,

   set ?mailcap_path

within mutt to see if mutt's default places have been overridden by 
this variable's setting.
