If you are talking about this list I would say bounce them, and put a
notice on the AKLUG list site about our list policy of plain text for
participating on the list.
If you are at work/home it is more problematic.Some folks never change
the default settings, and 93.95% of desktops use MS.
My wife is on a local list, dog stuff, folks are not computer savvy,
virii are common as are html messages.
