At the moment ~/.mailcap takes precedence over /etc/mailcap, so a user
can't specify a program to use for types that don't have a rule in
/etc/mailcap.
Specifically, I'd like to be able to specify fallbacks for text/* and
application/* (and just point them to my editor). If I do this at the
moment, then of course the setting overrides everything in
/etc/mailcap, which isn't what I want.
I think that what you're asking would go against the directions of the RFCs.
Even if I change the behavion of run-mailcap, though, it may not help
you as many programs implement the processing of ~/.mailcap and
/etc/mailcap in their own code rather than calling my program. Thus,
the operation of the system would not be consistent as it would vary
depending on what program you're running.
