Yes. Hit him hard on the head with his blackberry. I cannot understand
what is so critical about Word documents that you need them NOW on
your blackberry.
OK, so that's not practical.
Look in contrib/word-to-html. You can convert Word files to HTML
with wvHtml (http://wvware.sourceforge.net/) and thence to plain
text with Lynx. See also the action_external_filter function
in mimedefang-filter(5).
