I upgraded to Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 some months ago and had a similar problem. I fixed it by changing that line to this: application/msword; mutt_rem_bgrun openoffice.org-2.1 -view %s I need the "mutt_rem_bgrun" command because I run mutt on a Solaris machine and run viewers for MS attachments remotely on the Linux box. In your case, this might work: application/msword; ooffice -view %s I don't know if that will help, but it's something to try. Regards, Gary
