Subject: Specifying File Format from a Command Line

I'm using AbiWord under FreeBSD. I would like to get pine to use AbiWord
for MS Word and RTF documents, and have modified my mailcap
accordingly. The problem is that pine saves the attachment to a temp file
which no longer has the original extension, and then has the helper open
the temp file. Since the extension has been stripped off the filename,
AbiWord doesn't know what it is and opens it as plain text. I could write
some kind of wrapper that would rename the temp file, but before I do
that, I wanted to check if there was some way to tell AbiWord from the
command line what kind of file it is. Something like:
AbiWord -open_rtf filename
Is there anything like this, or any plans to add it?
