These types are even explicitly handled by OpenOffice (see files /usr/lib/mime/packages/openoffice.org-calc, openoffice.org-impress, openoffice-org-writer). However, they are not defined as mime types in /usr/share/mime/packages. Because of this, evolution mail only offers "save as" instead of opening the document with an application. The problem is easily fixed by adding aliases to the relevant mime types in /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml. For instance, for mime type msword, the following line does the trick: <alias type="application/x-msword"/> ..."
