To fix this, please refer to the RFC standards and ISO numbers. As You see, no 
one for M$ Word.

Oh... Sorry... DOS-*SHELL* AKA MS Windows...... So You should look at Adobe 
Distiler or ps2pdf or GhostScript or just visit http://freshmeat.net and 
search for PDF creation. Anyway, anybody can generate / export / create HTML.

No. No. No. Just FORWARD BACK to the sender the document you get from the net. 
This cures easily with procmail: just if attachment contains DOC, forward 
back to the sender with letter a'la: "Hi.\nIt would be nice get a PDF or HTML 
instead Microsoft DOC.\n\nThank You, much. Bye.\n<DATESTAMP/>\n". Steve, if 
somebody do wrong, *YOU* do right: create PDF or HTML instead of DOC.

P.S. In other hand there is no ISO for PDF... ;-)
P.P.S. Maybe UNIX world should enforce the rest folk to use OpenOffice or 
StarOffice by sending them SXW format?
