Documentation

If non-nil, prefer viewers specified in ~/.mailcap.

If nil, the most specific viewer will be chosen, even if there is a general override in ~/.mailcap. For instance, if /etc/mailcap has an entry for "image/gif", that one will be chosen even if you have an entry for "image/*" in your ~/.mailcap file.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 27.1.
