I've been using a Linux desktop five years. Office/excel etc are no problem especially since OpenOffice. Later versions of Win and Loutlook wrap things in a MS "tnef" attach which is a Microsoft EE&E (embrace, extend, extinguish) tool. After some digging I did found two options to deal... you can pay for a licensed version of Evolution which has or you can save the attach and use a standalone tnef tool. Been using the latter... haven't taken the time to figure out how to integrate it into Evo yet. A pita but it works.
