[imp] attachment preview....

[ANANT S ATHAVALE]

Dear Michael,

Thanks for responding.

I am not willing to install abiword, so server side converting and  
showing is not possible.  I agree on this.

I also agree that browser don't have built-in renderer for viewing  
word files and hence the user has to download and view on the local  
machine.  But, I don't get an option to download or view using local  
machine.  This is my problem.  I hope, I am able to convey you what I  
want.

I want an option to download/view the attached word/excel file,  
instead it always opens new tab without showing anything (Word driver  
is disabled by default).

Whereas for a pdf file attached, I get an option to either  
download/view from a local machine.  I want the same behaviour for  
word/excel files.

Sorry, if I am troubling you.  Sorry, if I am unable to understand  
what you want to convey.

Please guide me.

Regards,
Anant.
