Using metamail in emacs rmail how do you use metamail in converting a message
with an attachment in .doc to plain text ASCII ?...

Apparently, it is not a simple thing for people who do not have emacs mastery !

I generally use the following method:
- send a reply requesting the documentin another format.
- after a little while, the .doc format becomes available in another
  format (like HTML, PDF, RTF, ...)
