Yes, I think this is covered by the `mm-keep-viewer-alive-types'
variable.

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.

Wow.  Those are some Content-Types.  :-)

Hm...  that variable is a list of regexps.  Perhaps we should put
"application/vnd.*" into the list?  I think I'll do so...

And let's not forget these:

	"application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet"
	"application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text"
	"application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation"

Not killing viewer?!

[Adam Sjøgren]

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?


  Grumpily yours,

    Adam
