And it's right there in the manual at (info "(gnus) Using MIME"): The following commands are available when you have placed point over a MIME button: =E2=80=98RET (Article)=E2=80=99 =E2=80=98BUTTON-2 (Article)=E2=80=99 Toggle displaying of the MIME object (=E2=80=98gnus-article-press-= button=E2=80=99). If built-in viewers can not display the object, Gnus resorts to external viewers in the =E2=80=98mailcap=E2=80=99 files. ... I had searched the manual for "attachment" instead of for "MIME" which was why I missed it. It turns out that I had the line application/msword; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s in my mailcap file and that was causing the behaviour I observed. I guess I mis-remembered that other Microsoft Office documents were opened correctly from Gnus (or perhaps that was on another system). For completeness, I can report that with the following lines in my /etc/mailcap application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.database; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/msword; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/vnd.ms-excel; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/vnd.ms-powerpoint; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/vnd.ms-access; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document= ; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentati= on; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet; /usr= /bin/xdg-open %s all of .odt, .ods, .odp, .odb, .doc, .xls, .ppt, .docx, .xlsx, .pptx files now open as desired in LibreOffice. (I was unable to test with .mdb files as I don't have a program on my system that will open them.) So not a bug. Sorry for the noise.
