I've been using Emacs 25.0.92 for a while and noticed that Gnus has
started to display attached pdf files with doc-view-mode (inside Emacs)
instead of launching an external viewer. In mailcap-mime-data variable I
have external viewer (Okular) first for the application/pdf MIME type
but Gnus doesn't want to respect that.
How do configure Gnus to use external viewer for attached pdf files?

This is not a Gnus problem, but Emacs have changed to default to
docview-mode for pdf files, ignoring mailcap.

;;Remove doc-view so pdf will open with ocular
(setcdr
(assoc "application" mailcap-mime-data)
(remove '("pdf"
(viewer . doc-view-mode)
(type . "application/pdf")
(test eq window-system 'x))
(cdr (assoc "application" mailcap-mime-data))))

Thanks. I hope there's a nice way to completely ignore *-view-mode. I
wrote this but it is quite brutal approach:
(require 'cl-lib)
(require 'mailcap)
(setq mailcap-mime-data
(mapcar (lambda (major)
(cons (car major)
(cl-remove-if
(lambda (minor)
(cl-member-if
(lambda (v)
(cl-member v '(doc-view-mode
pdf-view-mode
view-mode)))
(cdr minor)
:key 'cdr))
(cdr major))))
mailcap-mime-data))
