   That should be really simple to do in procmail; use formail to extract the
Content-Type: header field out of the message header, and send it back to the
original sender. Wouldn't even need to shell out to anything, I'd think,
unless you were determined to cat some text explaining the difference. Of
course, none of this means anything, since they will send a text test message
and receive verification, then proceed to send mail to your list changing the
font, size, style, and add other attributes that will change their message to
multipart/alternative or text/html anyway - and then, of course, blame you
since your server must be wrong...

   My subscribers get immediate feedback; if their email to any of the lists
is accepted, they're sending plain text. If it's rejected with a verbose
explaination of the problem, they ain't.   ;)
