Greg: We're going in circles here. You need something like wv in order to 
read those Word files that people send out. You don't need to send them 
Word files in order for them to read what you write in plain text or in 
html, because they can perfectly well read your text or html using their 
Word application on Windows.

Do you see the circle?
