Yes, that notices page is really awful... For now I can suggest a workaround though. Just a few days ago I wrote a script that parses that page, extracts those messages and builds a standard page out of them. It's a lame attempt by me to write in Perl, but it works. You can find the script here: http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~menache1/schwarzesbrett.pl I just wrote it for my own needs. You can see an example of it in action at http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~menache1/notices.html. And in general, in response to the problems you brought up and the solutions suggested by others... I do find it very sad that places that I think are supposed to promote open-mindedness and free thought are in fact no different than all other places in our society when in comes to this topic. I don't think that it's anything specific with TAU. It's a general phenomenon which is unfortunatelty very common not only here but worldwide. In any case, some have suggested OpenOffice, wvWare, et al. But these won't solve the problem, which is "standards" which are not open. We can't settle for this as a solution because the next versions of MS Office might introduce new formats... In short, the solution is educating people to use open standards...
