Eric, that makes it completely unreadable...
It may be fascinating, but unless someone reposts it in a text
format, I can't comment! :P :P :P
I have to agree. I don't understand why it's in .doc format though.
Choose Save As and switch to .txt and then attach

This has to be said.  Why attach the file?  Many people can't read
attached files, and unless you're using some text editor like vi (and if
you use vi to write fanfics...), it takes about 15-45 seconds to cut and
paste documents to an email client.  The two or three extra steps this
takes saves lots of hassle for others, and greatly expands your potential
audience.

I use word to write my stuff, open a telnet connection, run pine, and copy
my fanfic there.  It's pretty easy.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
