There are system wide file that contain these information

/etc/mime.types   (contain all mime types .. appilcation <--> extention
mapping)
/etc/mailcap   (applcation to default program mapping)

also
~/.mime.types  (Personal file extension to mime.types)
~/.mailcap  (Personal extention to mailcap)

To solve you problem.

Try adding these 
in mailcap
--------
application/postscript; gv %s
application/x-dvi; xdvi %s

in mime.types (this might be already there)
--------------
application/postscript          ai eps ps
application/x-dvi               dvi
