[Harprit Khaira]

MessageWe always send all of our e-mail press releases etc. as attachment,
as well as pasting it in the content in the body of the message.

Thank you,

  Dear Sisters and Brothers:

  As Bill rightly notes, it is easier for list users if senders avoid using
attachments as much as possible and instead post the content in the body of
the message.

  However, if you do wish to send an attachment, you should send it in a
format that is (relatively) universal.

  The two prevailing formats are PDF (Adobe Portable Document Format)) and
RTF (Rich Text Format).  Both preserve the original format in most cases,
and also have the advantage of being smaller in size than Word or
Wordperfect files. One advantage of RTF is that virtually all word
processing software can read the files (and save them in this format),
including Windows Wordpad which is included with the Windows operating
system.  As well, RTF is not version sensitive, as even Acrobat PDF files
are in some cases.

  In Solidarity,

  John Weir

    Hi Merrideth,

    Could you send the text in the email?  It's easier to deal with than
saving to disk and opening, particularly as I don't use Word Perfect.

    Thanks.
