As many others I often get MS-Wordfiles (*.doc). I would like to have a autoreply \
option that tells these guys why I don't want this file format attached, why you \
should'nd sent Wordfiles (viruses, securtity, proprietary format, no open format). \
(in my language and English). And that tells them that i use Linux because I don't \
want to have security problems. Also alternatives shall be suggested. What I have in \
mind is a kind of FUD the other way round. Some links to security pages in this mail \
would be great. You know, many of us write Emails like that day by day. Why don't we \
automatize this, e.g. if we get a WORD-file we are asked whether the dislike of this \
format should be replied to the sender.

The same thing should happen if someone attached VBS files, there is already some \
VBS-Viruses around. So it would be great to write to the sender that we think he had \
a virus problem.
