antiword is decent. There's a web-page with details of various useful
extras available at <URL:http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttTools>.
~/.mailcap entry:
application/msword;antiword -t -i 1 -w 72 %s; copiousoutput
Given the propensity for some mail-clients to attach stuff without an
informative MIME type, you'll probably also want to put something in the
list of types which mutt will use your local mime.types for, to override
the provided type; so:
~/.muttrc:
mime_lookup application/octet-stream
That feature was added during the 1.3 development series.
