Thanks for the recipe; I'm seeing this bug, too.
(pp mailcap--computed-mime-data (current-buffer))
=>
("pdf"
(viewer . doc-view-mode)
(type . "application/pdf")
(test . window-system))
("pdf"
(viewer . pdf-view-mode)
(type . "application/pdf")
(test . window-system))
So doc-view-mode is ahead of pdf-view-mode in the computed structure...
Ah; mailcap-mime-data entries are handled in opposite order -- the final
matching entry is the one that wins, not the first one? Looks like it.
I've now noted this in the doc string, and I've also moved pdf-view-mode
later, because it makes sense to prefer that if it's installed (since
doc-view-mode is build in.
