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. [1] http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/mailcap.git [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1257331
