Sure. People using WordPerfect end their files in .doc. Also, anyone attaching any file in Pine will have their file auto-munged into Base64 whether it's plain text or binary. Now, if this happens to be a plain text file that is name .doc, you lose. Believe me on this. I work at the University of Washington. Waaay too many people use Pine here. >Welcome to planet earth!
