That requester has to learn how to create proper formats using SMTP and 
multi-part e-mail formatting.

Alternative, there is a XMIT PDF or something like that, which was discussed on 
IBM-MAIN.

You can get open source formatting of micro$oft document formats, but AFAIK 
these are not 100% true compatible with m$ standards.


"I understand the user would be responsible for marking up the text with rtf, 
xml, html, or some other kind of instructions for formatting, but a function to 
take the marked up text and create true .docx output would be fantastic."

crap! That requester is lazy. You can, in your e-mail, set .txt to something 
else before sending it to SMTP. Then you can then 'fool' the reader software 
when you open that e-mail.


"We generate dozens of documents every day, all of which are currently plain 
text and upper case. "

What is his problem? Huh? He wrote that in mixed case!  (Sorry, can't resist 
that one. ;-D )

I send out my docs using IEBGENER, SMTP, ICETOOL, etc. and they are all in 
mixed case.


I will not vote for that.
