I'm sorry if I've missed something, but I don't see what this has to do
with run-mailcap.

It would be good to discourage customization of
dired-guess-shell-alist-{default,user}, and steer users towards the
non-program-specific mechanisms. It would also be good eventually not to
have to maintain the list, or indeed the dired-guess-shell mechanism at all.
As for your mention of "the first M-n", as far as I can discover, the first
time I press M-n, the default command, which was already mentioned in the
prompt, is simply inserted at point, as if I had typed it. So is "the first
suggestion that the user will get after the first M-n" actually the same
thing as "the default suggestion"? (I hope so!)

Thanks for the pointer.
