MIME-Version:	1.0

In the event this helps anyone...

I'm running GNU Emacs 21.2.1 and gnus 5.10.1 under Cygwin 1.3.22.  I got
tired of having to save attachments and then open a dired buffer and
then launch via shellex.  So I created a .mailcap and put the following
in there:

application/msword; cmd /c winword.exe "`cygpath -aw "%s"`"

Lo and behold, MS Word attachments now launch.  Lather, rinse, and
repeat for other MIME types.
