Same here.
It seems to have a different opinion about some MIME types then
/etc/mailcap and/or ~/.mailcap.

I guess a build-conflict against mime-support would help; but I have
troubles testing this approach in my normal environment because
uninstalling mime-support would uninstall half of my system :/

I guess patching the tests would be better, although it's a bit
tedious.
