[pmmail-list] Reading Word Attachments with SmartSuite

[Maurice Guéron]

Hi Phil,

In my hands, it works. Go to the Mime page in the Settings notebook.  

In the two Mime type places I put "text" and "no" (no quotes). In the argument 
place, I put "-f %s" (no quotes). Someone told me that. I did not find a 
description of Command line parameters in the Smartsuite Help...
