It was discussed a couple of years ago, in that Martin and
Mike put out a survey to see what features we users would
like to see added to EW. As I recall, ODT came pretty low
down the list, in spite of Martin saying that he would like
to see it. I imagine that Martin still has the voting
figures somewhere.
For myself, no one has ever either sent me an ODT document
or even asked if I could accept one, so it is not something
that I, personally, would ask for.
I I did get one, I would just throw it at Open Office, which
gets used for the occasional 15MB+ Word file that I get, and
for the odd occasion when I need to create a Spreadsheet in
XLS format.
