Put something like...
application/msword; catdoc -s 8859-1 -d 8859-1 %s; copiousoutput;
nametemplate=%s.doc
... or ...
application/msword; antiword %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.doc
... in `~/.mailcap'. (You may use `M-: (mailcap-parse-mailcaps nil t)
RET' to re-parse without restarting Emacs.) Then pressing the button
should show the text inline. When this failed, press `v' on the MIME
button and enter "OOo" (or whatever the binary is called).
It's probably not feasible to find out automatically if `catdoc' or
`antiword' fails.
Bye, Reiner.
