MIME type handling is desktop-wide, not Evolution-specific.

For "application/acrobat" attachments (which is not a valid MIME type,
see [1]), save the file to disk and teach Nautilus how to handle it.
Your choice of application will then be listed in Evolution.

"application/stream", on the other hand, is a generic description for
unknown MIME types.  You probably don't want to associate an application
for that type since it could be anything.  Evolution -should- attempt to
guess the type from the attachment's filename extension (e.g. .pdf), but
if it lacks even that then your only choice it to save it to disk.
