Does that work for just the file extension, just the file itself, or
for all files of that MIME type?

There's also /usr/share/applications/defaults.list which associates
programs with MIME types.  Per user overrides are possible in 

    $HOME/.local/usr/share/applications/defaults.list

What I'm not clear on is if /etc/mime.types and/or /etc/mailcap are
ever used.  Anyone understand and able to explain this process in
detail?
