Ok to all comments. I think I will just close this with INVALID.

I could have inadvertently messed up this local copy -- how I don't know. I
found it again from the original site, and it opened fine with AOO 4.0dev vis a
vis my browser settings, so, sorry for the trouble. Thanks to all of you for
taking a look.

Well I guess so. It is odd that it can be opened with 3.2. and not other
versions. Thanks for your continuing investigation.

I am not sure, if it is invalid.
It is somehow confusing:
- You can open the file in AOO 3.4.1, but not on current snapshot.
- Keith can not open the file in AOO 3.4.1 and current snapshot.
- I can not open the file in OOo 3.3, OOo 3.4 Beta, AOO 3.4.1 and current
snapshot, but in OOo 3.2

May be something is broken in the type detection.

I came to this issue today per chance. I can open attachment 80788 without any
problem in Word 2003 and StarOffice 8. So I think the file is OK.
