Re: doc2html not being called?

Reviewing the output from -vvvv I see this line:

Header line: Content-Type: text/plain

The .doc parser is triggered by a content-type of application/msword.

Using Firefox with the web developer extensions installed (or using 
telnet and manually sending an HTTP request) you can see what 
content-type headers Apache is really sending for Word documents. If it 
is not sending application/msword (and it appears that it is not), then 
the doc2html.pl script will not be triggered...

Let us know if that is the problem. Note that depending on your version 
of Apache, how to configure it to send the right header varies... check 
the documentation to find out how to do it.

Good luck!
