Hmm...i have FC5 too. Havent faced such an issue yet. Did you talk to the guys @ #fedora on freenode? Did they give you any pointers? This is seriously weird... did you try renaming the file as .<something else> and then trying to perform the same operations?
I read somewhere that this problem could be due to incorrect mime type reported by my apache server. So, I fiddled around with mime.types file. Looking at mime entries for ppt and xls files( they could be accessed fine), I first changed description for doc files to application/vnd.ms-word doc It didnt work. So I again changed it back to application/msword And now its working without a hitch!! Basically the problem was as miraculous as the solution! I am also able to attach doc files in mail as attachments now. Its good that its working, but if anyone can..I would like to know the cause of such problems with a file type not being able to be uploaded from a machine at all., in any manner , be it httpd or mail attachments.
