I see info can also spit out plain text, so further proposal below.
This allows for example

    run-mailcap --action=cat /usr/share/info/info.info.gz


application/x-info; /usr/bin/info -f '%s'; needsterminal; description=GNU Info document

# ASCII text rendition, low priority.
# Info prints messages Messages like "info: Writing node (foo.info.gz)..." to
# stderr.  Discard them, though alas doing so also loses any genuine error
# messages.  Is there a "quiet" option?
application/x-info; /usr/bin/info --subnodes -o /dev/stdout -f '%s' 2>/dev/null; copiousoutput; description=GNU Info document; priority=1
