I subscribe to a freedive list with about 600 members, and it accepts 
nothing but plain text. The server bounces anything else. I am a frequent 
contributor to that list and used to play list mom, so now and then 
someone who is unable to post to the list because he can't manage to send 
plain text will get frustrated and send me something and ask me to 
forward to the list.

The people with the biggest problem seem to be those using later versions 
of AOL. While I have no personal experience with it, I'm told that it 
takes a relatively high degree of sophistication to figure out how to 
make AOL send plain text, and of course many people use AOL precisely 
because they are not sophisticated.

BTW, you might wonder why I can't easily tell them how to fix their 
problem if I used to play list mom, but we have a separate tech guru who 
handles that sort of thing. As list mom I was mostly a referee.
