[X4U] Hide the extension: I don't want to but X wants!

[Michael Elliott]

Or you coils do tv easier thing and just name the file with the .doc  
extension before you email it. Also could just ask the other person to  
drag and drop the file on Word to open it that way

As an aside, I just realized how used to extensions I've gotten since  
Macos X came out years ago. I always felt that extensions were so old- 
school before. Now I'm used to them.
