Blah blah blah, propreitary software, evil empire, blah blah blah..
Anyway, for those of us who have to live in the real world, here's how
to get Abiword to open a Word file from any email your boss sends you:
Go to Edit, Preferences, Navigator, Applications, and find the entry for
MS Word.
Now, fill in the path and filename of the abiword executable
(/usr/bin/abiword here) as follows:
"/usr/bin/abiword %s"
The "%s" at the end tells Abiword the filename to load.
That little nugget was gleaned from

Donncha.
