mailcap-possible-viewers is called with major set to 

((".*" (viewer . "xv %s") (type . "image/*")) ("x-xwd" (viewer . "xwud
-in %s") (type . "image/x-xwd") ("compose" . "xwd -frame > %s") (test
eq (mm-device-type) (quote x)) ("needsx11")) ("x11-dump" (viewer
. "xwud -in %s") (type . "image/x-xwd") ("compose" . "xwd -frame >
%s") (test eq (mm-device-type) (quote x)) ("needsx11")) ("windowdump"
(viewer . "xwud -in %s") (type . "image/x-xwd") ("compose" . "xwd
-frame > %s") (test eq (mm-device-type) (quote x)) ("needsx11")) (".*"
(viewer . "aopen %s") (type . "image/*") (test eq (mm-device-type)
(quote ns))) (".*" (viewer . "display %s") (type . "image/*") (test eq
(mm-device-type) (quote x)) ("needsx11")) (".*" (viewer . "ee %s")
(type . "image/*") (test eq (mm-device-type) (quote x)) ("needsx11")))

and minor set to "gif", if that helps.
