If mailcap weren't so badly designed, it wouldn't be necessary to
quote anything.
image/jpeg: display "$filename"
Then the application would set $filename in the environment.  Gnus
could do this substitution in a similar way to this patch, although I
don't know whether it's worthwhile since the quoting code is already
written.
