antiword is a blazing fast msword to text converter that easily integrates
into elm, mutt, and netscape.

These are the instructions for how I use antiword:

make a ~/.antiword directory and copy /usr/share/antiword/8859-1.txt and
/usr/share/antiword/fontnames to it.

For elm or mutt put this in your ~/.mailcap file as the FIRST msword entry:
application/msword ; antiword %s ; copiousoutput

For netscape put this in your ~/.mailcap file as the LAST msword entry:
application/msword ; antiword-net %s

and in your ~/bin directory make a file called antiword-net:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/rm ~/word.txt
~/bin/antiword -s $1 > ~/word.txt
xterm -geometry 90x44 -e less ~/word.txt

In .muttrc add it to the auto_view line:
auto_view text/html application/msword
