This is an idea for an /etc/mailcap entry for "cat". This allows a text
file to be catted with
run-mailcap --action=cat foo.txt
The file below is debian/coreutils.mime and adding dh_installmime to the
binary-arch should install it to /usr/lib/mime/packages/coreutils.
# This entry allows "run-mailcap --action=cat foo.txt" to print a text
# file to stdout. Not particularly useful in itself, but good for
# genericness if you don't know in advance what sort of input file is
# to be catted.
#
# The mailcap(5) man page notes that a simple "cat" like this is
# builtin to "metamail". But it's not builtin in "run-mailcap", hence
# this entry.
#
# priority=0 to to allow specific text types such as text/html to be
# rendered to plain text. No %s so data received on stdin.

text/*; cat; copiousoutput; priority=0
