New feature -- antiword support

[Julian Field]

Hi folks!

I felt a bit bored at home this afternoon, supposedly having a day off...

So I added support for the "antiword" program.
Basically what MailScanner can now do is find *.doc files attached to 
your email messages, convert them to plain text (with a bit of 
*highlighting* like that) and add the text as new attachments to the 
messages.
This means that when someone mails you a simple Word doc, you don't have 
to save the attachment, possibly switch OS and computer, and crank up 
Word just to read a few lines of text.

The "ChangeLog" tells you how to use it. Basically install antiword from
http://www.winfield.demon.nl/
(or from RPM or SRPMS at http://www.volny.cz/zellerin/rpmmenu.html)
then set "Add Text Of Doc = yes" to your MailScanner.conf (having run 
upgrade_MailScanner_conf of course!).

And you're away.

Have fun,

Jules
