OR the likhan font from http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~deepayan/Bengali
Copy the file with a *.ttf extension into c:\windows\fonts\
And then open the mail in Internet Explorer, and enjoy!!

Other Notes
===========

Do note that since these mails will look like gibberish to most of the
anti-spam programmes, you may need to turn off any spam filtering
features to let this mail pass through :).

To www.peacefulaction.org coordinators - I will be turning off
spamassasin tonight.(temporarily)
