Yes, it does, for the case the mailcap entry specifies neither
`needsterm' nor `copiousoutput'.  In that case, now it tries to
delete temporary files one minutes after launching a viewer and
when Gnus exits[1].  As for the `copiousoutput' case, temp files
will be deleted after a viewer exits.  However, as for the
`needsterm' case, there's no code for the temp files deletion
as it was as before.  I'm going to verify whether it's ok.

[1] The deletion will fail on Windows or Cygwin if a viewer
 is a Windows application, MS Office, AcroRd, etc. for example,
 and is running at that time.
