We've got the same problem here. In Asia, the headmaster of the french
schools communicate by email but they don't stop sending WinWord files
where RTF will be enought. I've send them all a message explaining
that sending WinWord file by email is not a very good idea but they
don't seem to understand. May be french people need advice that come
from the top hierarchy :)
