mutt and doc files



Hi all,

I saw the recent thread about doc files and wanted to solve my problem.  I
use applixware's doc reader called 'words'.  I would like to get mutt to
use 'words' for my viewer.  I am not interested in auto-view for doc files.

My .mailcap line reads as follows for msword:
application/msword; words %s; exit 1;test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

and unfortunately by the time 'words' starts up, mutt has deleted the file.
I don't get any "Press any key to continue..." message.  Contrast this with
my html line:
text/html; netscape %s\;exit 1; nametemplate=%s.html; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"

which works and yeilds a "Press any key to continue..." message in mutt.

What am I doing wrong?
