Unfortunately, many emails contain attachments for which you need a MS Office compatible viewer. (I used to rant to the senders about this, but gave up, it was too much an uphill battle). Some webmails handle them (particularly Microsoft's own), but if you are not using such a thing, LibreOffice is useful for viewing such attachments.
