Try this shell script.
file=$1
shift
select viewer
do
if [ "$viewer" ]
then
$viewer $file
break
fi
done
Name it something like 'select_viewer' and save it in directory in your
PATH. Then put a line like this in your mailcap:
application/msword; select_viewer %s your_text_viewer your_ps_viewer
replacing 'your_text_viewer' and 'your_ps_viewer' with whatever programs
you are using for this. When you view an MS Word attachment from the
attachment menu, the script will prompt you to choose one of the viewers
from your list. The list of viewers can be arbitrarily long. And of
course you can use the same script to select among viewers for different
types of attachments simply by using another mailcap line and list of
appropriate viewers.
