I use WP, and I love WP, so of course I accept WP attachments
sent to me, so long as there is a reason for them. Someone using
WP to write email is unacceptible to *me*. I can understand why
you personally might not want to receive WP resumes however. I
would not accept one in Word format for the exact reason you use.

I agree 100% with you. We all have an acceptible level of
"public standard" I believe - ASCII email. Anything else will
vary from person to person. That is freedom of choice, and is a
good thing.

I've actually done that kindof... Someone wrote me in HTML about
6 months ago, and I responded in GNU Info format. They got the
point and disabled HTML.
