This really has nothing to do with doc files or MS Word; you have a
corrupted MIME message.  I help users with this occasionally when
someone forwards a message using a non-MIME-aware mail program, thus
destroying the structure of the message.  What you can do is save off
all of the base64-encoded crap to a file, then run

mimencode -u garbage.file -o file.doc

You'll need to get the metamail package; Red Hat last shipped it as
part of version 7.3.  It should still install on Shrike.
