I couldn't find one and ended up writing a python script to do it. I wrote about it here:

There may be better built-in solutions now, but it's been working well enough for me that I haven't looked for other options. I also use it for viewing Word attachments by running them through unoconv (part of LibreOffice) to convert them to HTML, then showing them in a browser window.
