Yes, but did you check each of the files listed in that function's
doc string?  That is where the ".cpp" -> "more '%s'" association must
be coming from since it's not in extview-application-associations.

But I think you could override the mailcap/mimetypes association like
this:

(setq extview-application-associations
       (cons '("\\.cpp\\'" . nil) extview-application-associations))

That means the source of the problem is either ~/.emacs or default.el,
but we already know it's just because you're loading the extview library
from ~/.emacs.
