AbiWord is a fine program, though it might be considered overkill for
everday viewing of Word attachments. I use antiword and only fire up
AbiWord if I really want to see or print out the original document in
all its formatted glory.
Also, you might want to upgrade; AbiWord 1.0.2 is out, and
I find it successfully opens many Word documents that 0.99.x could
not.
