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. -- das ddts.randomink.org _______________________________________________ Ilug-cal-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://list.ilug-cal.org/mailman/listinfo/ilug-cal-discuss
