Except "the other one" doesn't work. When I press enter in the attachments view, it either displays raw HTML (which it should not, without `auto_view text/html`) or uses the copiousoutput mailcap entry (which it should, with `auto_view text/html`). My understanding of "view attachment using mailcap entry if necessary" is that it uses the mailcap entry, when it is present. Which it fails to do so. There is a difference between inlining the copiousoutput mailcap entry's output in the message display, and pressing <Enter> or <Space> on the mime part in the attachments view. In the latter case, Mutt should use the mailcap entry, and not just when one forces it to do so, with 'm'.
