NO !  Wrong !  Only encourage posting in formats acceptable to FreeBSD.Org
list mandate & many FreeBSD readers, EG publicly defined formats:
Ascii (or HTML if you must).

No ! Do Not __just__ keep that in mind !

Realise Alexus, that many list readers intensely dislike Microsoft
& its spawn.  Those posting .doc format to freebsd lists are likely
to be admonished.  FreeBSD.Org facilities such as this list are
not provided to support Microsoft's proprietary undocumented formats
that perpetuate their monopoly.

To see official policy on what content & format is allowed on any
freebsd.org list, try EG
	echo "info freebsd-jobs" | mail majordomo@freebsd.org

If people dump .doc on our list, not only will they force many of us
to waste bandwidth on auto download, many perhaps most will just delete unread.
Please discourage anyone from excreting .doc format on FreeBSD.Org lists !
