Why? What can .doc do that .rtf can't (apart from harbour viruses,
etc?)

And no different when sent as a .rtf.

When the text is just a message, not requiring further editing
etc, there is no justification for attaching instead of pasting
in. Unless it is something for which the formatting is important,
like a poster, perhaps.

Thanks for the tip-off.

Oddly, it works here if I open a reply to my message
<mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> received via the list.
The one before "best regards" has an extra <dash><space> added to
the front by PGP, so will only work after you have verified the
message using TB!'s built-in PGP function. Otherwise, the extra
cut mark placed after "-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----" comes into
play.
