Gnome certainly doesn't read mailcap, which isn't sufficiently rich enough for a modern system. It has it's own mailcap and mimetype database system. Umm, try looking around gnome.org/searching for gnome mime type or something on google.
Too bad GNOME doesn't have a Helper Apps system like Mozilla does. Really easy.

Evolution correctly identifies them, but doesn't seem to have abiword correctly set up as the correct mime type. I've added application/msword; abiword '%s' to my .mailcap file and application/msword doc to my .mime.types file, but this didn't help. Oddly, other attachments seem to work fine (e.g., a MS Excel spreadsheet gave me the option of opening it with gnumeric), but with MS word files all I can do is save them to disk. This might simply be a difference in the way gnome handles mime, but if so, I need a hint as to what to do.
