Investigating that file I suspect there are other factors involved since *.pdf appears nowhere in it yet gnus trys to display *.pdf with an old acro reader at a non-existent path when I press RET on a *.pdf attachment. Further there are no mention of any image formats yet gnus attempts to display them with `display' (an ImagickMagic command) when pressing RET on an *.jpg attachment.
