You can't (easily).  The system mailcap file is generally handled by the
GNU/Linux distribution.  You could automatically muck up a user's
~/.mailcap file, but that is not very friendly.  This should probably be
fixed by updating the mailcap-mime-data var mentioned by Glenn in
lisp/gnus/mailcap.el.  The entries in this variable are used if there is
no existing entry in a user's or the system's mailcap.  As this appears
to be the case in the original bug report, that would likely fix this
problem.
