Hi Damien:

I use it quite a bit and I email often for editing purposes to a group 
of academics. I can also tell you that the university professors that I 
know who use OpenOffice use it to mail back and forth to their grad 
students. It is an great tool.

We should be pushing the ODF formats as much as possible, especially in 
N. America so that sending an ODF file is also a viable choice. We 
should not compromise our values of promoting these file formats.
