However, to just read properly .doc files that people email me thinking

Is there a way to convert them to PS and view with gv?

Which DE (or WM) do you use? AbiWord and/or KWord also work,
depending on the complexity of the documents.

I've been using icewm. I've tried AbiWord but found that it couldn't
handle some of the documents I've been sent (mashed columns, no images
referenced in the email, etc).
