Hi all,
for me the question about HTML or txt is not a question of preferences,
but of target audience:
OOo project members getting dozens to hundreds of text mails will not be
interested in bloated HTML mails, but still want to be informed about
what is going on outside their specific projects.
Other people that want to be informed about the project from the outside
will be divided in two categories:
Some want to get plain text mails: Full information with the minimum of
download/storage space.
Others are interested in eye-catching well designed HTML newsletters. I
think this group is growing more and more:
- Users that just want to hear a bit more about OOo that they already know.
- People just reached by our marketing efforts: A bit curious, but not
really interested.
- Internet lurkers appealed by our lovely homepage...
IMHO there is only one way to do our work properly:
- keep the text format on the announce mailing list
*plus*
- create a new list (or anything else) for HTML newsletters.
It should be the user's choice if they want to get HTML or txt, as Kay
already mentioned, creation of both is not much more work than just one.
Best regards
Bernhard
