Re: Why plain-text rule is necessary on the LUG mailing list was -> Re: A reminder and request to all LUG members

I think I can share Debayan Banerjee's sentiment that some people are
getting blocked from participating because they do not even know what
is HTML and what is plain text. In fact I had a seminar last afternoon
with some people in Economics that are regularly using computers, and
the state of things I saw there I would hardly love to elaborate.
Indra, you must be knowing how bad things can be: you are regularly
interacting people from *academic* areas.

So, even if a single guy gets blocked that way, without even knowing
why he cannot get his query through, that is unfortunate. Even if
there is none, there is always a possibility. And obviously Sankarshan
has his points in asking them to learn the ways of e-life, exactly in
real life. Now can one solution be arranged, that, when due to HTML
things someone's mail gets bounced, the sender would automatically get
a response with a suggestion that the mail was rejected because it was
in HTML, and please go to this link <some-link> to know how you can
send the mail properly -- can it be done?

If it is really possible, then please make the <some-link> as simple
as, say, 'click this and that switch if you are using gmail' ... like
that.
