I -ALWAYS- do the chewing out. If someone sends me a .doc I send it back (yes,
I reinclude it in MIME, so -they- have to download it over their 33.6
connection too) and ask them to please employ proper computer etiquet in
choosing a portable format. (But the problem isn't just with .doc files-- some
people don't know that there are other ways to compress files than to make an
.exe self extractable-- that really chaps my hide).
