As long as you guys keep the B-News bi-directional gateway functioning, I'm fine. And, please, make sure you strip any leading whitespace so as not to tickle the line-eater. > On Sep 23, 2020, at 9:21 AM, Faidon Liambotis wrote: > > On Wed, Sep 23, 2020

Re: [Wikitech-l] Allow HTML email

It's fine to allow HTML email, but doing so shifts on the users the burden of fixing their clients so that they produce suitable multipart emails before sending them to the list. With some common email clients and providers (e.g. Gmail webmail) it's surprisingly easy to produce utterly unreadable

Thanks Tim. This prompted me to finally switch to composing mails in HTML per default, like it's the 21st century. Am 23.09.20 um 06:45 schrieb Tim Starling: > OK done, and it seems to be working. > -- Daniel Kinzler Principal Software Engineer, Core Platform Wikimedia Foundation

Re: [Wikitech-l] Allow HTML email

OK done, and it seems to be working. Sorry to pre-empt the discussion, but I really wanted to send that triage email as HTML. We still haven't heard from Faidon who, last I heard, still reads his emails by piping telnet into less or something. But I think he can make sense of

Re: [Wikitech-l] Allow HTML email

Agreed! The word wrapping especially drives me nuts. My phone is just small enough that the last word or two of each line gets wrapped natively, on top of Mailman's wrapping, making any sizable email a difficult read. ~ MA On Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 11:26 PM Gergő Tisza wrote: > Yes please. A

Re: [Wikitech-l] Allow HTML email

+1 for both of these. This would save me some time in the drafting of Wikitech-l emails. You will of course still reserve the right to insert line breaks at your own discretion to achieve a particular visual fit.-- Timo On Wed, Sep 23, 2020 at

Yes please. A mere fifty years after the invention of hyperlinks, it would be great to adopt them here. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
