No, but maybe this one can be solved.  Problem: some emails are HTML due to a 
lack of education on the sender's part, and we hate HTML emails.  Converting 
HTML to text is not such a great technical feat, and it makes the rest of us 
happy even if it doesn't solve the ignorance issue.  Bouncing a message back 
to the ignorant doesn't protect us from HTML emails, but it does address the 
root problem.  I think either one of these would be fine, and maybe a 
combination would be ideal.
