I followed the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING for 20080725 to 
resolve problems with Nautilus and PDF files last month, so, yes, I 
followed the updating entry.

What is weird here is that Nautilus works just fine, it is only 
Evolution that seems to have a different notion of MIME handler 
association.  So, I was hoping to get an idea of how that association is 
formed without going through the Evolution code (for which I haven't 
found the spare time to go through).
