Try with a version supported by this BTS. (either 2.4.1 from lenny
or 3.1.1-x from testing/unstable). Bugs specific in bpo versions
are not subject to this bug tracker.

Suree..... Because some obscure mimetype doesn't work? Come on...

That sounds a bug in whatever sends those emails.

Good.

Ah, right. Sure. Did you really mean Debian lenny (that would mean
2.4.1) or lenny-backport of OOo which you have installed? (3.1.1)?
And how please should the mimetype -> app mapping know whatever x-ole-storage
is? It can be anything, can it?

You seem to assume everyone has that crap.
