Unless I have specifically asked for an attachment, don't send one... Why do I say this? ...They're unsafe. File attachments have become the preferred virus carrier for the jerks who like to pollute people's computers.
They're unnecessary, except in the rarest of cases. Plain text will almost always do everything you needed. Cut and paste the prose from the MS Word document into the body of the message...
Please don't send HTML e-mail. It doesn't use as much bandwidth as an attachment, but it uses much more than plain text. It's also unnecessary, and has the potential to be dangerous.
(note that this is merely a prophylactic rant - you, gentle reader, have sent me nothing whatsoever.)
