You have a wordprocessor program (other than Wordpad) installed on your
machine?

I've got Microsoft works installed, is this sufficient?

It depends on the word processor included in Works. Earlier versions of
Works were a great bargain because they had the real MS Word in them.
My understanding is that recent versions have the "Works Word
Processor" which is not MS Word. You can try opening the file in your
Works word processor to see whether it can read it or not. Save the
attachment to your hard drive. Then right-click the file and choose
Open With and pick your Works word processor. See what happens and post
back if you need more help.

Or you may wish to post directly to a Works newsgroup since this is not
an operating system issue but an application issue.
