How about MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) described in RFC 1342
(now a Proposed Standard in Internet).  It can handle text (various fonts
and styles), sound, graphics...

Documents can be sent with standard 7-bit mail using encoding/decoding.
Various commercial and 'free' implementations are already under work.
This seems to have enough merit to become a widely accepted 'standard'
(at least in Internet).
