First possibility is that my memory is flawed, and editing .mailcap
isn't correct.  Another is that the video is coming in with a different
mimetype; either audio/mp4 or application/mp4, so there's no match with
anything in your .mailcap.  Both mimetypes are valid, but shouldn't be
used if the file actually contains video(1).  However, a lazy programmer
might use application/mp4 as a 'catchall'.

Beyond that, I'm out of ideas.

(1)  I did a very quick 'net search, so don't consider this
authoritative.
