I have the folling in /etc/mailcap:
# The following displays Japanese text at sites where the "kterm" program is installed:
text/plain; kterm -geometry +0+0 -e more %s /dev/null; test=test "`echo %{charset} | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`" = iso-2022-jp
Should /etc/mailcap be followed when inline methods are available?
(This has always annoyed me about the W3 defaults -- it prefers to
start a dumb viewer instead of displaying inline when it can).

I think /etc/mailcap should always be followed. I also think there
should be a way to choose what you want from mailcap itself.

I think there should be an interface to override the /etc/mailcap
file. Like:
(mm-define-method "image/gif"
(lambda (picture) (do-that-inline-thing ... picture ...)))

O.K. Fair enough. I'd like to see this autodetected (and not by
editor type or version), but that's clearly a refinement.
How would you propose to make that work with charsets? If I'm running
in XEmacs/Mule I would like to see Japanese inline. If I'm running in
XEmacs/no-Mule I would like to see it punted to /etc/mailcap methods.
Similarly for KOI8, etc.

Hm. I guess the general presentation thingie (however we decide to do
that) should treat text message the same as other messages -- if they
are inlinable, they should be inlined, and if not, they should be
forked off to external viewers.

Right. For text, you should probably arrange to prefer kterm (if it
found) above anything else since the latest versions handle almost
anything.
