A good point. The instructions for turning off mime/HTML for particular
MUAs on the http://expita.com/nomime.html page are a good way to
politely help out such folk. For example, here's my standard text
snippet that I send to MS-Outlook users who send mime/HTML/quoted-printable
mail to the Linux Gazette Answer Gang:
I'm sure you're unaware of this, but you sent your message in a
difficult-to-read format called "quoted-printable" with extraneous
MIME headers like the foregoing, and with your entire message printed
a second time in HTML. Please change your mailer's settings to stop
it from doing this. Instructions are here:
http://expita.com/nomime.html#outlook5
I do recommend that page, which is quite comprehensive.
