oops.. yes, I see it now. I should have spotted that earlier. Sorry about the list noise. > The message contains HTML to display the image, and the git mailing > list rejects HTML messages.

I'll just set procmeil to file new threads from nabble into a "penalty box" for now and start a whitelist. Perhaps I'll come up with something more elegant/automated later. So, I guess my "feature request" is "resolved".
