   Right...  so perhaps the best solution here would just be to
   add the "priority" stuff to mailcap.el?  Then you can say

   image/*; xloadimage %s; priority=5

   to use xloadimage on all the images?

Sounds about right, if ‘priority’ support is widespread enough.

   No Gnus/Emacs 24 is in a feature freeze at the moment, though,
   and this would count as a new feature, I think, so implementing
   this would have to wait a bit.

For the record, the workaround is to avoid "foo/*" in ~/.mailcap,
replacing it with the expanded set:

 image/jpeg; COMMAND; ETC
 image/gif; COMMAND; ETC
 image/...; COMMAND; ETC
 ...

That's ugly, so maybe better to call it a kludge.  In any case,
i don't know whether or not this addresses OP's original problem.
