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.

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?
