Looks like a M$ Word attachment. You have to edit the mailcap file and tell it how to handle these attachments. You might want to take a look at third party apps for Mutt (look in the archives, or maybe someone can repost the URI? I don't remember it offhand). At the mutt page, you can take a look at mutt pages by mutt users. There are lots of very cool things you can do to have almost any kind of attachment handled and viewable automatically - if you want. Mutt will do most anything you need or want it to do, but the front end work can be a long process. Get using it, and find out how to solve each problem when it gets to the point where it's worth the while to search mutt.org and the list, etc. I don't think I can ever use another MUA, but I still haven't gotten all the rough edges smoothed out completely. BTW, if you want to view Word Docs inline, there are useful links directly from Mutt regarding configuration. The 3rd party app you want is wv, I think. Used to be wordview, but it changed a while back.
