Hi,

I do not know the details of attachment handling, but it seems to me
that what happens with the attachment depends on the sender. If the .doc
document is attached as application/octet-stream, then it is saved to
disk. If it is attached as application/msword, then it is open in
openoffice (in my case).

It would be nice if a user could override this, but I do not know how to
do it. Perhaps some elisp guru can tell us.

Bye
