I receive an email with a Microsoft Word document attached. That is annoying in itself, but I click it, and Libreoffice opens with the document. So far, so good. Then I read the next email in Gnus. And Libreoffice is killed. Gone. Window closed. Which is kind of annoying as I wanted to look at another email at the same time as looking at the Microsoft Word document. Wasn't this fixed at some point? Do I just need to twiddle some configuration?

Yes, I think this is covered by the `mm-keep-viewer-alive-types' variable. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Ah!
I confirm that adding these three
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation"
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet"
indeed keeps these attachments open, whereas the default values
"application/msword" and "application/vnd.ms-excel" did not.

And let's not forget these:
"application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet"
"application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text"
"application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation"

Those are some Content-Types. :-) Hm... that variable is a list of regexps. Perhaps we should put "application/vnd.*" into the list?
