I have antiword set up as my mailcap entry for viewing MSWord docs and it works great (thanks Sven :). What I'd also like to do, from time to time, is pipe a *.doc to AbiWord. From the attachment menu, I've tried: | AbiWord and | AbiWord %s and | AbiWord %s & Version one opens AbiWord without the file. Versions two and three open AbiWord with an error message saying, "unable to open file %s". I've used AbiWord successfully in my mailcap file, using the %s temporary file descriptor, FWIW.
I've looked at pipe_split, pipe_decode and pipe_sep, but none of them seem on point for what I'm trying to do. AbiWord documentation sheds no light on this, that I could find. Surely this is a brain cramp on my part, but any help appreciated. Thanks. John
