mailcap deals with MIME types and takes its name from the "mail
capabilities" stored in the /etc/mailcap file to decide what to do for
any given attachment given its MIME type.
Now all this was mail-specific at the beginning, but MIME types are now
used for much more than "MIME" and so none of it is specific to mail
any more.
