[imp] Request for Improvements-

[Tom Warfield]

Well my goal is to have everything come out in a browser...

Here is my criteria:
  These people travel all over the world.  They never know whose computer
there going to be using, or anything of that nature.  They only know one
thing, they will have a webbrowser with a internet connection.  Software on
the computer is not up to them, and they have no way of installing any
software onto the computer.

So with that in mind having them be able to read the attachments they get
would be great!

Tom

If you don't want to use plugins for these, then you'll need to find
something that converts them to HTML, which could be integrated in the
same way that wvware does.

Why not use free Acrobat Reader or equivalent? That's the point of
PDF, after all.. between Acrobat Reader and xpdf and pdf2text, there
aren't very many platforms that can't read a PDF file..
