I suspect the core problem is something that is providing mailcap
semantics may not necessarily be suitable for nmh, especially with the
changes made for 1.6 (we really are expecting programs to output stuff
on stdout).  It's my understanding that other RPMs of nmh run
mhn.defaults.sh at package installation time to generate the right
entries for mhn.defaults; that might be worth looking at.
