When reading emails in evolution, any attached Microsoft Word .doc files can not be opened because evolution can't find any programs that claim to open them. It took me a long time to figure out that this is because the mime type in the emails for the .doc files is "application/msword", but this type isn't included in the ooo645writer.desktop file's MimeType entry: MimeType=application/vnd.sun.xml.writer;application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.global;ap plication/vnd.sun.xml.writer.template;application/vnd.ms-word;application/x-mswr ite;application/vnd.stardivision.writer;application/rtf;text/plain I realise that "application/msword" isn't an official mime type, and that "application/vnd.ms-word" is technically the correct one, but the former is in widespread use, especially in email, and other gnu/linux packages (for example libmagic1 uses it in /usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime, and shared-mime-info uses it as an alias in /usr/share/mime/application/vnd.ms-word.xml). Could you please add "application/msword" as a supported mime type in the .desktop entry, so that users can open these files.
