No need for this, we are all very much learning all this; and we have a
lot of window's people, and thus a whole new set of tools and mailers.

So in general; when you send mail make sure that you limit yourself to
as much as possible to:

	PLAIN 7 bit ascii

I.e. No 8bit, no HTML, no RTF, no word attachement.. and certainly not
sending the same message in two attachements, one plain text, the other
HTML or word. Just pure

	PLAIN text

will do :-) That is the best (and lowest!) common denominator for all
folks, be it on windows, mac's, unix, vax/vms ond other OS/XX0 dinosaurs
:-)

We can configure the ezmlm lists (on an individual basis) to filter out
body attachments of a particular content-type, if you like.  "We have the
technology".  =)
