Location of the Mailcap File(s)

For UNIX, a path search of mailcap files is specified. The
default path search is specified as including at least the
following:

$HOME/.mailcap:/etc/mailcap:/usr/etc/mailcap:/usr/local/etc/mailcap

However, this path may itself be overridden by a path
specified by the MAILCAPS environment variable.

This is what Arena currently supports.
