Wouldn't the right thing to do be to check if the %s is surrounded by single
quotes before quoting the arguments? Otherwise you're going to run into a
problem if your home directory is shared across different systems... And since
the worst case problem you run into is a security hole I would suggest the
most conservative logic, namely always quote unless you can verify the mailcap
rule is safe without quoting.
