I assume that the issue you're describing is that, when pressing F3 ("View") on an .odt document, instead of viewing its contents in ASCII, you get the odt2txt help.

The solution is a very small change in the file /etc/mc/mc.ext. Currently, lines 497-500 read:
# StarOffice 6 and OpenOffice.org formats
regex/\.(odt|ott|sxw|stw|ods|ots|sxc|stc|odp|otp|sxi|sti|odg|otg|sxd|std|odb|odf|sxm|odm|sxg)$
 Open=(ooffice %f &)
 View=%view{ascii} odt2txt

Change the last line to:
 View=%view{ascii} odt2txt %f
(i.e. simply add the "%f") to fix this. Will submit a patch now...
