Maybe those folks should just go back to using carrier pidgeons.
Alternatives could include changing to using an email client that would
support THEIR need to block or convert HTML to text. Expecting the rest of
the world to change to do what they want is just wrong and ain't gonna
happen.

I don't know but I did change to using plain text for some time because of
the desires of certain people here. The loss of functionality was
bothersome so I finally switched back to the rich text mode of gmail.
I do understand that html CAN be used for harmful intent but then what
can't? If you want to fear technology, don't use it!
