Hi,
This is what I did, for shure, with all needed explanation about standard, and 
what was wrong with this format. But, we will get more and more of those, and 
I was wondering if i was any easy way to read these documents. Installing 
Wine looks like one way, but I am not going to take it.So, for now I will ask 
senders not to use this format.
