RTF is a benign file format and does not support scripting or embedded HTML
tags. I know of large companies that require all external documents be sent
to them as RTF to avoid the problems of macro viruses and other malicious
code.

The default editor for Outlook XP (2002) is Word *if*
Office is installed. (I don't know if it is if Office
isn't installed.) Default "sending type" is RTF.
