Yes and no, it's simpler and more complicated. '~/.mailcap' and
'/etc/mailcap' (and couple of others) are smashed together and then some
entry wins. Thing is, rules applied are different for mime-tools and
mutt, I think. Thus, maybe you don't need this setting.

As I understand your requirements, (just mentioned above)
'alternative_order' list (or is it command?) needs adjustment. Thing
is, I can't find a way to query contents of 'alternative_order' *list*,
thus you need 'unalternative_order' *command*, and then set *list* with
'alternative_order' *command*. Anyway, this kindof documented in
section "MIME Multipart/Alternative".

*CUT*
