Hi,

Anyone using wine to read MSOffice attachments automatically from
netscape?

 using native linux netscape -> click on the attachment ->
 start wine with the correct application (MSword, MSpowerpoint,
MSexcel...)
 and display the contents of the attachment?

It works for MSword attachments, when you use:
  wine '<path to MSoffice>\word.exe' <filename>

 but not for MSpowerpoint and MSexcel

The MS version used is NT4 with MSoffice97...


Some thoughts from you might help....

Thanks,
	Jan
