How to NOT use doc-view-mode as mime viewer?

How to NOT use doc-view-mode as mime viewer?

It seems that Emacs 25 prefers doc-view-mode for displaying various
contents such as application/pdf mime types. I'd prefer external viewers
as defined elsewhere in my system (mailcap). I can brutally delete every
reference to doc-view-mode from mailcap-mime-data variable (see the code
below) but I'd prefer taking a less brutal route. Any ideas?


(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))

I wonder that, too.

I came to the same conclusion - this is the hack I use:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(with-eval-after-load 'mailcap
  (let* ((apps (cdr (assoc "application" mailcap-mime-data)))
         (to-delete (seq-some (lambda (el) (and (equal (nth 0 el) "pdf")
                                           (equal (nth 1 el) '(viewer . doc-view-mode))
                                           el))
                              apps)))
    (setq mailcap-mime-data (cons (cons "application" (delq to-delete apps))
                                  (delq apps mailcap-mime-data)))))
#+end_src
