Your email was not delivered because it contained a Microsoft Word file named "ATTACHMENT". Please resend the document in a format that is readable. Please note that: 1) Spaf (and many other people) do not use Word or Windows. "Common" does not mean "standard." 2) Word is a document processing system, not a transport encoding mechanism. It is not meant to be used for sending documents around. 3) Even some systems with Word can't read all word documents! There are many versions of Word, and not all types are interoperable. 4) Email with attached Word documents take up lots of space, and cannot be searched with standard software on non-Windows systems. 5) Using word processing documents for simple memos and statements contributes to unnecessary data bloat. For example, to send a simple 10 word email message as a Word document may require adding over 50,000 (or more) bytes of context, macros, fonts, and other cruft that is unnecessary to convey the words. This contributes to larger files, more wasted disk space, and longer transmission time. Many other formats also contribute to larger files for no good reason -- there is no need to send fancy formatting for simple messages. 6) Email with some attached formats is a common vector of macro virus transmission and/or information leakage. Some formats are worse than others, and most of those are blocked by Spaf's mailer -- including Word documents. If your document has no special formatting, then please consider sending it as plain ASCII text. The MIME e-mail standard defines "richtext" formatting for sending email with some additional formatting. This will work with most MIME-compliant mailers on any platform, and does not carry viruses, nor does it vastly inflate the size of a document. Alternatively, if there is special markup or formatting, Adobe PDF is compact and portable. Level-2 PostScript is also a good choice, as is XML/HTML. I recommend you read and heed:
