I would love to set mozilla so that senders of microsoft .doc, .xls, and .ppt
documents automatically receive a response from me.  ("sorry, MS is a
proprietary format that I cannot read.")  this would be similar to the spam
filter, and the components are probably already there:

[1] a dialog to match included file extensions with actions
[2] action choices: "delete" (or "mark").  the novelty would be an automatic
response mechanism.

it is very difficult for 1 person to fight on an email-by-email basis.  this
should be something that should be easily automated for a wide user audience.

sincerely,  /iaw
