Yes, gnome is very obnoxious that way.  mailcap has been around *much*
longer than gnome.  There was really no reason for them to reinvent the

Right now 'view part' command runs notmuch-show-view-part function,
which calls mm-display-part.  You might check in mm- config settings to
see if there's anything there you can tweak.
