I include my ~/.mailcap file - this works fine for me.

# Example .mailcap file for SGI machines
#
# First a note about syntax:
# The first token in a configuration line represents a mime type.
# A mime type is of the form "SubGroup/Item" and either token
# can be replaced by the wildcard character "*"
#
# the second token is the command that you would run
# when the specified mime type is encountered. An example
# would be "xv %s" where %s will be replaced by a filename
#
# remaining tokens represent name value pairs.
#
# the "test=" pair invokes the test command
# specified and checks the UNIX shell return code to see if the
# test passed. If the test passes the mime mapping is made, otherwise
# the mapping is not made.
#
# the "stream-buffer-size=" pair tells the application
# to use a popen command to invoke the program specified and to
# pipe all data into the command. Only programs that can handle
# piped input can use this method. When this method is used
# a "%s" should not be included in the command. You should
# make sure that the program you wish to use can accept piped
# data by trying something like this before using it:
# cat "YOUR_DATA_FILE_HERE" | COMMAND_TO_TEST
#
# You may continue lines by using the backslash character "\"
# plays AIFF files
audio/x-aiff; sfplay %s
# plays AIFC files
audio/x-aifc; sfplay %s
# use this preferentially to do streaming audio if you have
# the playulaw program
#audio/basic; playulaw; stream-buffer-size=2000
# otherwise, if you don't have playulaw, use this
audio/basic; sfplay %s
# use this to play MPEG audio if you have maplay installed
#audio/x-mpeg; maplay -; stream-buffer-size=2000
# default movie player
video/*; movieplayer -l0 %s
# use this to play MPEG video files if you have mpeg_play installed
video/mpeg; mpeg_play -dither 2x2 -loop %s
# here is an interesting command that enables you to sit
# in front of a different UNIX machine than the one where
# you are running the Netscape Navigator and still here audio.
#
#audio/basic; rsh YOUR_HOST_HERE /usr/local/bin/playulaw; \
# test=test `hostname`x != YOUR_HOST_HEREx; stream-buffer-size=2000
# use this to display postscript files
application/postscript; ghostview -a4 %s
# this is the default for non GIF or JPEG images
image/*; /local/IRIX52/bin/xv %s
# if you would prefer an external viewer for GIF and JPEG images
# uncomment the following lines for XV to act as your external viewer.
image/gif; /local/IRIX52/bin/xv %s
image/jpg; /local/IRIX52/bin/xv %s
image/jpeg; /local/IRIX52/bin/xv %s
# chemical mime
chemical/x-pdb; xterm -bg black -fg powderblue -fn Screen15 -T RasMol -e /cr/c2a/user1/ubcgs7l/bin/rasmol %s
chemical/x-peak; ~/bin/sendras %s
