does mew parse .mailcap?

ok, i know there are programs out there using NAME, many virii do.
NAME may not only be illegal, but outright dangerous in window$,
which relies on file suffixes...

i'm quite content with using this macro, but let users collect the CT
-> mime-type entries they need to this list.  it is good that you
documented mew-mime-content-type, which is this association table, i
presume?  i had the feeling you intended to hide this variable, which
would have been a great loss for mew.
