OK.  I haven't checked it yet.

Nope.

I picks up evince, which is in my ~/.mailcap after I remove doc-view-mode:

(setcdr
   (assoc "application" mailcap-mime-data)
   (remove '("pdf"
             (viewer . doc-view-mode)
             (type . "application/pdf")
             (test eq window-system 'x))
           (cdr (assoc "application" mailcap-mime-data))))
