I think the "file association" trick will just not work in Windows 98.
However, it's easy to just put "WordPad" directly into the NatLink code. In
"_vocola_mail.py", instead of the line:

  natlink.execScript('ShellExecute "cmd /c ' + filename + '", 6')

use the line:

  natlink.execScript('ShellExecute "wordpad ' + filename + '", 1')

That should work just as well.
