When choosing File->Send->Document as e-mail... there would be automatically added message to the end of e-mail: The document attached with current e-mail needs appropriate software of internet connection. Suitable software can be downloaded freely from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ or view directly online at http://www.viewdocsonline.com/ The idea is that the proposed feature could be configurable feature and also text should be customizable. Certainly - here proposed text could be as one example, what to put as default text. This feature should be default turned on and also customizable for silent installer, e.g. --send-email-signature=on or something. This text should be also included into localization so if I choose any other language than English then also this text should be changed into appropriate language. Idea came from organizations and companies who are sending a lot of PDF's and putting similar message to the end of e-mails, where they suggest download mostly Adobe Reader even this is not the only one PDF-viewer. This feature could help to rise awareness of OpenDocument and its native editor LibreOffice. Also some people still do not know how to open OpenDocument if they do not have ODF-capable software installed.

Thanks for sharing your idea. This is a little worrying. I can imagine other projects’ leaders roaring because of alleged “unfair competition” (as if we were competing). Also, I personally hate it when software adds advertisement to e-mails, such as the hideous “Sent from my iPad”. Let’s face it, it’s advertising. I would leave the users’ e-mail content alone, and leave the recommendation of ODF-compatible software at their discretion.
