When you want to mail a .rdp file (remote desktop program), it becomes
corrupt.
Other problem files: .sav (from SPSS program). I think there must be
more examples.

So the real problem (for me) is not real textfiles (made with a editor),
but when a student has to mail his work (.sav-file) with webmail and the
teacher uses Outlook/Thunderbird there is a problem.
For the moment we have 2 sollutions:
- zip the file
- let the teacher use imp (best!)
