  I'm subscribed to a mailing list devoted to classic computers [1], and
*they* gave up on trying to enforce non-HTML emails (and top posting, and
... ).  Sadly, it's a lost cause.

  At least that shows the sender cares (or at least, the client they are
using cares) enough to send a plain text version of the email.  Nothing
worse than to receive an email with ONLY HTML, which in my case, means I
shell out to Lynx to read the email.

  Good luck on your crusade.
