Auto-reply (Score:2)

You need something that can read your mail, and catch any MSWord or Excel documents that are in any message, kill the message, and send an auto-reply form letter saying basically "no, resend as plaintext" or whatever.
When the reply is swift, automatic, and icily impersonal, people will be trained that sending things in those doc format is a BAD BAD THING.
