The anti-MS Word and Power-point signature tagline.

[Toby Fisher]

Hi folks.

As many of you do, I used to use the tag line about not sending Word or 
Ppt files, however I've discovered a rather unfortunate side-effect, and 
was wondering if it's afflicted anyone else.

I have to take delivery of quite a lot of docs from people who use MS 
Office, and after seeing my signature, they try to be kind by sending me 
an rtf document.  At least with a Word doc, you can do:

cat foo.doc |strings |less
and get pretty much all of the text together and it's readable; but what 
the *#@! do you do about an rtf file which is much bigger, and has loads 
of crap between all the words?

Just wondering.

Cheers.

p.s. you'll notice I've removed it now, not least because I now have a 
Windows lap top that was paid for.
