That's true that in next of ODF also other formats are possible. But as
LibreOffice is completely free office suite that everyone can download and use
right away just like Adobe Reader or similar (which are widely advertised and
spammed in every e-mail that contain a .pdf file) and hopefully we would a bit
raise awareness of its existance and capabilities - it would be nice to have an
opportunity not spam people but just mention shortly that such wonderful +
completely free and open-source office suite like LibreOffice exist and is
capable to open not only ODF but also other files, including hybrid-PDF
documents (which I am pretty sure, lots of people just do not know).

Certainly such information into e-mail can be added also without that feature
directly in LibreOffice but it would be just nice to use already known way to
help people by deciding which program to use to open sent file as already have
been used in case of .pdf files while almost all senders suggest to use Adobe
Reader. Especially while LibreOffice is as freely downloadable as Adobe Reader,
actually even more as Adobe Reader is not open-source but certainly most people
do not care about open source-code but being free of charge (hopefully
forever).
