Again, these are repeat offenders, many of whom I've explained exactly what to do to shut off their HTML. Sometimes they fix it temporarily but the next time they post their back to HTML. And for others, they're using obscure email tools that I have no way of knowing how to explain to them how to fix it. Yet others use email systems that offer no plain text option whatsoever.

Apparently we may have a solution - the latest version of Mailman software has an HTML stripping tool. The version of the software we're using does not. I've asked EDC's tech team to upgrade Mailman. Hopefully they'll respond positively.

thanks,

I agree with Pam. I think many people don't know much about this at all. A primer for the neophyte would be excellent I think...don't just tell them not to send messages as HTML, tell them how not to and how to find out if they are.

Maybe people don't always understand that their messages are going out as HTML messages, and/or don't know how to make the choice...

Maybe there could be some helpful instructions about this when people join the list - repeated when/if the moderator needs to respond to a message that's been sent in HTML.

Hi everyone,

In recent months we've had some problems with getting list members' messages to the list because of the increasing number of messages in HTML. (snip)
