This is what Python (and therefor GNUmed) looks at:

        The information is derived from all of the mailcap files
        found on the system. Settings in the user’s mailcap
        file $HOME/.mailcap will override settings in the system
        mailcap files /etc/mailcap, /usr/etc/mailcap, and
        /usr/local/etc/mailcap.

Note that you should configure an "edit" entry for the
relevant mime types, not a "view" entry.

Regarding LaTeX templates I figured since they are text and
nearly any text viewer will be an editor we can make GNUmed
look for a viewer, too, when it doesn't find an editor.

As a last resort I added notepad.exe on Windows, similar to
sensible-editor on POSIX.

Note, also, that setting the mime type at the desktop
environment level (KDE/GNOME and friends) won't suffice
since GNUmed asks the OS, not the desktop.
