Bug#647272: evince-gtk: MIME support is now missing?

[Vaclav Ovsik]

Package: evince-gtk
Version: 3.2.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainers,
I'm using the MUA Mutt and now the application Ghostview is used for PDF
attached documents in it :(. I can of course configure mailcap by hand,
but... Is there any alternative for people not using integrated desktop
environments after dropping the evince.mime and evince-gtk.mime? Maybe
I overlooked some mechanism to generate mailcap entries from desktop
files? (The bug should be reassigned somewhere.)

Or users of mime-support have bad luck? I understand the burden of
maintenance of MIME records and priorities especially, but I hope there
will be some solution for mailcap users.
Thanks
Best Regards
