Yes and no.

On Unix, a program is executed according to CT: with
mew-mime-content-type.

On Win and Mac, "fiber.exe" and "open" is executed according to CT:
with mew-mime-content-type, respectively.

"Fiber.exe", for example, executes an appropriate application
according to the suffix of a temporary file which Mew created
according to Content-Disposition:.

I read twice. But I don't understand what you are trying to say.

mew-mime-content-type is customizable. For example, configure
mew-prog-postscript with an application to display PostScript, for
Content-Type: application/postscript.

Note also that C-uC-cC-e let you specify CT:. If you specify
application/postscript, for exapmle, mew-prog-postscript will be
called. The default variable of CT: is guessed by the suffix of its
filename. This is convenient in a care where an application file is
labeled with CT: application/octet-stream (ie binary file) and the
suffix of its file name is correctly specified.
