As with everything, there is the good and the bad.

Thank heavens! I, for one, do NOT want TB to download and open/execute
some unknown file from wherever. This looks like a massive security
hole, ala M$ programs. If you want to do these kinds of things, use
OE. Please do NOT put these kinds of capabilities in TB.

Why not send it as a web reference? These are OK in TB, plus, they are
of use to people NOT using M$ products :-). Let's not help M$ tighten
their strangle hold any more by spreading their non-standards.
