Bug#551927: openoffice.org: application/x-ole-storage mime will not open in openoffice

I installed Debian Lenny on a virtual machine
apt-get install kde iceweasel openoffice.org
The email with mime application/x-ole-storage *.doc opened fine in OpenOffice Writer.
I then installed openoffice.org from backports.
The email with mime Word doc as application/x-ole-storage worked fine.
So I'm guessing that somewhere along the upgrade from Debian Sarge=>Etch=>Lenny this mime type broke. As mentioned earlier this work-around-hack-fix works:
> > /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/defaults.list
> > application/x-ole-storage=openoffice.org-writer.desktop

> I don't have that file at all.
It is part of libgnomevfs2-common
You can close the bug report.
