Word 2007 files (extension .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx)

Regrettably but inevitably secretaries here are starting to use this
format so I get more and more of these. Openoffice does not open them
directly, but you can get a converter here:

http://katana.oooninja.com/w/odf-converter-integrator

The rpm there automatically also updates the etc/mailcap, so that
(quoting from their webpage) "when you click on a .docx/.xlsx/.pptx file
on a web page, in an email attachment, or your desktop,
odf-converter-integrator converts the .docx/.xlsx/ .pptx to an .odt/.ods/
.odp, and then automatically opens the new document in OpenOffice.org,
StarOffice, Abiword, KWord, Gnumeric, Microsoft Office 2003, or whatever
is your default ODF editor."

A complication with exmh is that odf-converter-integrator detects file 
type only from the extension. When exmh runs it on an attachment, it 
first saves the file with a different extension (.exmh). I get round 
this by first doing a Save/Extract Attacments, but wondered whether 
someone here has a cleverer solution.
