For various reasons I do not wish to receive e-mail with attachments in proprietary formats such as Word. If you must use Word, please take a little extra time to send your attachment as a rtf (rich text format), pdf, html, text, or postscript file. And in this way, you will not send a virus or a worm. An interesting discusion on the desirability of Word attachments is available on Slashdot at link.
