Surprisingly the preferential support for Microsoft Word files over
LibreOffice Writer files that I observed _is_ coming from the Fedora
distribution and has nothing to do with my own configuration; the
mailcap file on my system after reinstalling the mailcap package --
which has the msword MIME type support -- is identical to the one in the
distribution sources [1].

I have opened a bug report [2] against Fedora mailcap requesting that
they rectify this.
