Hi Ben, There is of course WordPad, which is standard with the Windows' install and supports RTF.
You could try experimenting with: application/x-mswrite text/richtext Also, it might work that once you have your " application/msword " Content-Type declared, and MS Word is not present on the workstation - WordPad might open automatically, but of course I don't have a workstation handy without MS Word installed to test my theory. Hope this helps. Cheers...
