With antiword installed and /etc/mailcap set like this:

application/msword; /usr/local/bin/antiword %s

I should be able to just hit <RET> on the part and see it right?
(Even without word-lisp.el installed ... right?)

I get this message instead of any view:
Viewing with /usr/local/bin/antiword %s
Displaying /usr/local/bin/antiword /tmp/emm.234146QP/containers.doc..

I can go to tmp and view them with antiword.. 

With word-lisp.el installed I still get a file in /tmp but no view in
my buffer.
