[mew-int 00981] Retrieving Word Docs in Multipart

[Charles Muller]

For most incoming message attachments, the multipart function has been
working for me the way it is described in the Mew manual. For example,
when I receive .gif, .html, .zip, etc., I am able to save these or
open them separately.

However, MS-Word documents do not appear as attachments, but are
contained in the message body as mojibake text, even though the message has
M on the left side, as in the below example.

M07/08 hara at example.com Hara: PNC2002 Program at glance

If I type {SPC}, I do not get a list of other parts of the message,
only the whole Word document as Mojibake. If I forward the message to
another mail program, such as Evolution, I can retrieve the attachment
in the normal way.

I wonder what I need to do to save these documents in their native
format?
