You are right.  I missed apostrophe.

In default settings, mime-view-type-subtype-score-alist has '(t . 0)
element.  Its cdr (0, in this case) is used as a default score when
mime-view-type-subtype-score-alist does not have matched entry for
specified content type/subtype.  The cause of the problem is that
someone (package author, maintainer or you) modified and removed
'(t . 0) from your mime-view-type-subtype-score-alist.  Therefore, the
modification of SEMI is a kind of fault-tolerance.

At present, I guess there is neither SEMI nor variant wich can deal
with your case.
