ODT DOC RTF (if no fancy formatting) HTML (a very good exchange format for some people and tasks) PDF (if no major editting required)
This is the kind of concrete information that in my opinion would make http://www.documentfreedom.org/ a better site.
Hugo's "Send me attachments I can read, use open standards!" concentrates on email. This is a particularly challenging environment since it is usually not ok to send the same data in multiple different formats (large emails are frowned upon). I think we should be more general and not concentrate on email alone.
Offering both ODT and PDF is easy on a web site. In my opinion converting one web site to use open standards also matters a lot more than converting a single email user simply because a web site usually influences more people.
