If you use cygwin, take a look at my .mailcap entry below:

application/vnd.ms-excel; //N/PROGS/OFFICE97/Office/excel.exe `cygpath --windows %s`; 
copiousoutput
application/zip;        cp %s . 
text/html; "//C/Program\ Files/Netscape/Communicator/Program/netscape.exe" `cygpath 
--windows %s`

Just add a new line starting with "application/vnd.ms-xxx" in place of
text/html. 

Hope that helps.
