When I do:

0. emacs -Q
1. (progn
     (require 'mailcap)
     (mailcap-add "application/pdf" "mupdf %s")
     mailcap-user-mime-data)
2. C-j

This results in:

  (("application"
    ("pdf"
     (viewer . "mupdf %s")
     (test . t)
     (type . "application/pdf"))))

But mailcap-user-mime-data is documented as being a list of

  ((viewer . VIEWER)
   (type   . MIME-TYPE)
   (test   . TEST))

Isn't this a bug?  The documentation of mailcap-add doesn't exactly
welcome the user either...

Thanks,
