Opening an attached docment rtx from a Vista user

Hi, I have Windows XP. A friend with Vista emailed a document with thr rtx
tag that I could not open. When I asked the computer to search the Web, it
took me to a Microsoft web site saying the attachment was a Nokie ring tone.
What is up with that? Is there anyway I can get a Vista document without
having the sender cut and paste it into the email?

Thank you,

According to this...
http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/rtx
The file should be a Rich Text Document

Save the attachment to a folder, go to the folder and right-click on it, and
select open with....
and select Wordpad.

Apparently, your friend wanted a ring tone sound
to launch when you opened the attachment.
This is not a good practice as it may be a security
risk.

Thank you,

No, I just think she is clueless about this new system. She'll admit it!

I will let her know.
