mailcap funny default

mailcap.el has:

   application/octet-stream

set to the default viewer of mailcap-save-binary-file.

Should mailcap be providing a default for this? I don't think so.

A lot of attachments have this purely because the sender has a poor
mime setup (I am working with a client with a mac that _never_ sends
anything other than this mimetype).

So _most_ of the time one wants to ask:

  (mailcap-mime-info "application/octet-stream")

and get no default so that one can ask the user how they want to look
at it.
