Here's a curious problem that seems to have developed only in very recent 
versions of libwpd, though I'm not certain which ones.

I've built wpd2odt from the latest source under OS X. 

When I use wpd2odt to convert any WP file, the resulting ODT file opens 
correctly in LibreOffice, but it opens as raw text in OS X's TextEdit. This 
problem did not occur with older versions of wpd2odt (as recently as a few 
weeks ago).

The same problem occurs when I use OS X's textutil to convert the ODT file to 
rtf format; presumably OS X uses the same code to display the ODT file in 
TextEdit that it uses for textutil.

I've put together a ZIP file with samples:

Now, I understand that libwpd can't fix problems in OS X. But something seems 
to have changed recently in the way wpd2odt works that causes this problem in 
TextEdit and textutil.

I can't guess what it might be, but I will be happy to test any files that 
anyone might want to send me.

Thank you all.
