use this code to open attachment from mimes
try{
          /** get file as binary */
          File file = new File(
                         WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath(
                              wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(),
                              "Excel_FileName"));
          FileInputStream instream = new FileInputStream(file);
          long filelen = file.length();
          byte[] binary = new byte[(int)filelen];
          int offset = 0;
          int numread = 0;
          while(offset<binary.length &&
                    (numread = instream.read(binary,
                     offset,
                      binary.length-offset))>=0){
               offset +=numread;
          instream.close();
          /** create Resource out of binary read */
          if(binary!=null){
               cachedresource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(binary, WDWebResourceType.XLS);
               url = cachedresource.getURL();
          /** create window to open document */
          IWDWindow docwin = wdComponentAPI
                                   .getWindowManager()
                                   .createNonModalExternalWindow(url, "EcxelFileName");
          docwin.show();
     }catch(Exception e){
          msgBox("error reading file");
