        The global and personal .mailcap files can be defined in lynx.cfg
to override the default definitions.  Define them to non-existent files:

[...]
# The global and personal MAILCAP files allow you to specify external
# viewers to spawned when Lynx encounters different MIME types, which
# will overide any of the suffix maps in this (lynx.cfg) configuration
# file, or in src/HTInit.c.  See RFC-MAILCAP.txt in the docs subdirectory
# and the example mailcap file in the samples subdirectory.
#
#       Unix:
#GLOBAL_MAILCAP:/usr/local/lib/mosaic/mailcap
GLOBAL_MAILCAP:/none
#       VMS:
#GLOBAL_MAILCAP:Lynx_Dir:mailcap
#
#       Sought in user's home (Unix) or sys$login (VMS) directory.
#PERSONAL_MAILCAP:.mailcap
PERSONAL_MAILCAP:none
[...]
