 I am trying to find a way to view M$Word and Excel docs as attachments

 rather not really use.  For some reason, mswordview is not working
 anymore with my mutt install, so I'd like to give another tool I heard
 about (here, I think) a shot, especially since it also works on Excel.
 
 Please let me know where to find the tool.  It is something like
 excel2html or xl2html or something and I can't remember anything about
 the Word tool.

My .mailcap :

application/msword; catdoc %s; copiousoutput
application/x-msexcel; xls2csv %s; copiousoutput

For converting Word attachments to plain text, I use wvHtml
(http://www.wvWare.com/) piped to w3m
(http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~aito/w3m/eng/).  Mswordview is now
wvWare.  For Excel attachments, I use xlHtml (http://www.xlhtml.org/)
piped to w3m.

The scripts I use to hook these together are available from my web site.
