Frequently PDF is a more appropriate format than either MS Office or 
ODF. The exception would be documents that you actually want the 
receiver to edit. You might use RTF here.

MS Office seems to be receiving quite a bit of attention from the 
malware writers right now -- it's simply dangerous to open the documents.
