Not sure what you mean by that sentence...

You need to:
- compile catdoc for your system (straight forward if you know how to
  compile a program, difficult if you don't know what a compiler is)
- tell metamail to pipe .doc attachments through catdoc (should be
  described in the metamail documentation)
- probably tell RMAIL about the above

I haven't used RMAIL since ages (I use VM nowadays), so I'm afraid I
can't be of no further help here...
