Actually, mailwrapper (I don't know about this mailcap thing, I'm only running STABLE right now for lack of machines) does this job. Have you looked at /etc/mail/mailer.conf? The sendmail binary in /usr/sbin has no relation to sendmail - it's the mailwrapper, which is a good concept. Otherwise, nice to see such a howto.
