It does. The attachment is type application/msword, so it
runs this rule:
# Microsoft Word
application/msword; soffice -no-oosplash --writer '%s'; edit=soffice
-no-oosplash --writer '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; description="Microsoft
Word Document"; nametemplate=%s.doc; priority=3
So, in case #1, something -- mutt, I presume (?) -- writes the
attachment to /tmp/FOO.doc, invokes
soffice -no-oosplash --writer '/tmp/FOO.doc'
and all is well.
In case #2, something **fails** to write the attachment to
/tmp/FOO.doc. The soffice invocation is done as before but, as there
is no file, lowriter simply displays the error popup.

Yes, that's the one. However, it's not clear to me the fault lies in
the rule. Something is failing to write the attachment to the disk.
Isn't that done by mutt?
