Is this the expected behavior? (I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved at the time.) The entries you are seeing as vnd\.ms-excel etc come from here: (defvar mailcap-mime-data `(("application" ("vnd\\.ms-excel" (viewer . "gnumeric %s") These are regexps, and we want to specify that we're matching the "." character, and not the [.] character class, so we don't match "vndxms-excel". That's probably overly pedantic, but... But I think this is working as designed, and I'm therefore closing this bug report.
