This is OT, nothing to do with the OP, I'm sorry.
I'm on the digest list.
Whenever the server sends one of these "HTML attachment was scrubbed"
messages via the digest list, if I visit the link it's nigh impossible
for me to read the content. It claims to be HTML, but no browser here
(at least five of them, including Lynx and Links2) will render it.
The problem is compounded in the Pipermail archive by double-encoding
of things like '<' and '>' characters as entities '<' and '>' so
that route is generally another dead end, although today if your reply
to the OP was a one-liner I did managed to see it that way.
Sometimes it seems like it would need GCHQ-level deciphering to figure
out what you've written, so very often I don't bother which grieves me.
Am I missing something?
Plain text would be so very much easier.
The HTML attachment is intentionally presented as raw text to prevent
things like running Javascript, or accessing external resources, as this
would open the list archives up to various exploits like XSS attacks,
etc. At least in Firefox, I get the HTML markup, and could copy/paste
it into a file and then open that file if I wanted to see what the
contents would render to.
