Well, you could try at least something like below: macro attach ,p '<pipe-entry>ssh -X user@remotehost "cat - > ~/out.odt; oowriter ~/out.odt"<enter> So you can type ,p upon the attachment and get it opened on the remote host. Obvious drawback is the hard coded program on the remote host - but that should be easily replacable by sth acting dependent upon the file extension. hth, thomas
