Sorry for the delay. But I finally supported the types of Open
Document.
You can easily increase the types for OpenOffice.org with
'mew-mime-content-type-for-ooffice'. Of course, its updated value
should be shared among all Mew users. So, if you want to increase it,
please let me know.
The default application is "ooffice". You can change it in ".mew".
Example:
(setq mew-prog-msword-ext "soffice")
(setq mew-prog-msexcel-ext "soffice")
(setq mew-prog-mspowerpoint-ext "soffice")
(setq mew-prog-ooffice "soffice")
Unlike Mew 4, all variables should be able to set in ".mew" on Mew 5.
But if you set 'mew-prog-*-ext' in ".mew", it WAS NOT valid. (Since
I'm now mainly using MacOS and Mew on MacOS calls the "open" program
only, I did not tell this bug for a long time.)
It took a long time but I finally fixed the bug. Now you can set the
variables in ".mew".
