Who sends you doc files? Ask for
ogg, mpeg2 or xxx files.

People who think operating a computer is using MS office. Period.

They get a glazed look when I ask for plain text even if the .doc files
they send are only straight text. Since I've never used a windows
computer (started with OS/2 and went to Debian directly), I don't know
what extra work there is for them, but I understand that the windows
recipients have to do extra work if its not a .doc file. The sender
tells me its more work to send .doc to everyone else and something else
to me.
