Actually, I'm running Mandrake 7.2, and using Netscape for mail. I have never
had a problem opening Word documents. I have *no* idea what does it, but I
click on the document in mail, and something translates it and pops it into a
convenient Netscape window for me to read. It's plain text, no pretty graphics
and very little formatting, and for some reason I cant get it to print from
there (it give me an empty document error), but I can read it just fine. Belive
me, I was shocked the first time it happened, too. :)
The bottom of the page has the line:
Document created with wvWare/wv ver 0.5.44
But I've hunted on my system and couldn't find where that was installed. Maybe
I'm just blind, but it works and I'm not going to look a gift horse in the
mouth. :)
Of course, if I *need* to read it in Word, I just save it to my win directory
and then open it in Word under Win4Lin. :)
Regards,
Amanda
