Gmail: Can’t view DOCX as HTML Files

I could’ve sworn that I had always been able to view DOCX and DOC files as HTML files in Gmail… Here is an article from LifeHacker that talks about the feature being there: http://lifehacker.com/5078197/convert-office-2007-docx-files-in-gmail-google
Over the past few days, I’ve been getting a gmail error that says: “The attachment cannot be viewed as HTML. Download the attachment to view it in its original format.” Weird. Admittedly, I haven’t tried this on any browser other than Chrome…
Anyone else experiencing this?
Aydin.

Can confirm the same happens in Firefox 3.0 and 3.5 on Ubuntu and Windows 7
