I had a similar situation this morning. I discovered that I didn't
have an /etc/mailcap file. I had to install the mime-support package
to get one. I then discovered that it was empty, aside from some
comments. I then needed to run "update-mime" to fill out the
/etc/mailcap file.
Images now are opened with imagemagick.
While it's probably better to set things up manually as you describe
below, I found it quite easy to get set up by doing the above. I just
don't know what was done, but I'm going back in to see what's in the
mailcap file ;-)
