Many reasons for that. Mostly it is OOo files. Just few examples:
1, changing the print layout (for example when you want to fit several pages 
of the document to one, but you do not want to change the original document 
in your mail)
2, when you open xls files in OOo many times you have to change the width of 
some cells in order to see the whole number not just #######. (for me it is 
important, when i receive a daily financial balance of my company, just want 
to enlarge some cells in order to see better and maybe do a small calculation 
and the I delete the mail anyhow)
3, when you want do some small changes which you do not want to save (as I 
mentioned before maybe just to add few numbers just to see the result)

and many other small things which make my life easier.

Maybe a small option in configuration would satisfy both parties?
