By default, opening a PDF from mutt or another program that respects the mailcap database (as updated by update-mime) will open that PDF in evince-previewer, rather than evince. If evince-previewer only exists to handle print previews (which seems consistent with its window title of "Print Preview"), then it should not register itself as a handler for the MIME types that evince does. /usr/share/applications/evince-previewer.desktop and /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop both contain an identical MimeType line. I don't see anything in either file that sets a priority, so I don't see any way that an application (or update-mime) could know to prefer one over the other. - Josh Triplett
