    The initial value of `mailcap-mime-data' is a fall-back (for systems
    without proper mailcap files).  To make it useful, probably
    `mailcap-parse-mailcaps' and related functions are necessary:

There is no need for all that to be standardly loaded/used in Emacs.

All that Emacs needs is to recognize the file types that Emacs
has special handling for.
