Code to recognize MS-Word document files?

[Grant Edwards]

I'm looking for a snippet of python that I can use to determine
if a file is a MS-Word document.  People around here seem to
have gotten into the habit of attaching MS-Word files without a
".doc" on the name.  

Even with the .doc, the mimetypes module doesn't seem to get it
right.  :(
