Description Richard Prins 2016-04-06 13:18:27 UTC
Writer provides the option send under the file menu. There one can select: send document as microsoft word file in an email. Here a .doc file is generated instead of the now common .docx . The .doc format is falling into disuse, and might be supported by less programs than the ubiquitous docx file format.

It's the same for Calc and Impress> xls/xlsx, ppt/pptx

Setting as new enhancement - make it configurable.
