Subject: | bug#21331: 24.5; LibreOffice documents have less support than Microsoft Office docs (in Gnus?) |

I really doubt any GNU/Linux distribution has better support for MS Office in this area (a program they cannot ship or even install, ignoring Wine) then LibreOffice (which they do ship). /etc/mailcap on Debian seems to have the relevant soffice entries. /etc/mailcap on Red Hat seems to be largely empty, basically punting everything to xdg-open, which works fine for me on LibreOffice docs even in RHEL7, so I'm sure it does on Fedora. So on modern systems probably Emacs should give up and just call xdg-open. (Though I seem to recall it's a pain because it forks and seems to exit.) But yes, some fallback mailcap entries would paper things over.
