I'm using "wv" to display WORD documents in the Message buffer. Of

I don't understand that you can display WORD documents in the Message
buffer from this sentence. Mew can cite anything displayed in the
Message buffer. So, I guess you can't display it in the Message
buffer, either.

I have not used "antiword".
Mew assumes that output from mew-prog-msword/*-ext is encoded with
UTF-8. I don't know about "antiword".
Please give a look at mew.dot.emacs included in Mew 2.2rc4 for better
WORD life.
