I think it be nice to have e-mail programs that automatically convert and attach a PDF version of every attached file. This way, the reader gets the native file plus the read only PDF copy for those that don't own the necessary software.

Internet users are not Google's customer base. Google's customers are advertisers. We're Google's product.
PETA. They'll be all over this.
We could use PETA members to sniff them out instead but I think the patchouli might interfere with the mine-detection.
Is there a People for the Ethical Treatment of PETA Members (PETPETAM) we need to worry about?
