mime support
Hi,
I am a bit confused with the mime support in mutt. I want to see the
MS Office attachments in Open Office directly launched from mutt, but it does
not work as I expect -- open office starts up, but than ends with message that
the file in attachment does not exist.

I checked my '/etc/mime.types' to see that doc, xls and ppt files are included:
- - - -
martin@vampejr2 /home/martin
$ fgrep -e "msword" -e "ms-excel" -e "ms-powerpoint" /etc/mime.types
application/msword doc dot
application/vnd.ms-excel xls xlb xlt
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint ppt pps
- - - -
I added following entries into '/etc/mailcap':
- - - -
martin@vampejr2 /home/martin
$ fgrep -e "msword" -e "ms-excel" -e "ms-powerpoint" /etc/mailcap
application/msword; /skripty/run_soffice '%s'
application/vnd.ms-excel; /skripty/run_soffice '%s'
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint; /skripty/run_soffice '%s'
- - - -
command '/skripty/run_soffice' will launch open office for me:
- - - -
martin@vampejr2 /home/martin
$ cat /skripty/run_soffice
#! /bin/bash
/opt/OpenOffice/program/soffice "$@" &
- - - -

As I mentioned at the beginning, the open office starts up, but ends
immediately with message
'error opening file file:///tmp/zzz.xls /tmp/zzz.xls does not exist'
I can view pictures, launch video and do any other stuff, just the open office
wont read M$ documents :(.
As if mutt does not saves the attachment correctly or something like that.
I looked through the archives, but this seems to work for people. I must be
doing something wrong.
thanks.
martin.
