[Bug 50669] Evolution opens MicroSoft Office .doc files read only

[KarlGoetz]

Public bug reported:

In Debian Sarge (OpenOffice.org 1.1.x) when someone opened a .doc
file from an email in Evolution it would open in OpenOffice Read/write, and changes could be made to the page layout (letter-> a4 etc) before printing.

In Ubuntu Dapper (OpenOffice.org 2.0.2, Evo 2.6) that no longer occurs.
Docs now open read only.

This makes some things  (like changing paper format from US Letter to A4) a /lot/ more complex then it needs to be.
If this could be fixed to open docs read/write and backported to Dapper it would rock :)

** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
