I think so. It seems to pass along what is "the best compromise" for turning things into a text/plain message going out the other end, which is (I think) what most list users really want.I'm wondering if there are good values for defaults here. I'm thinking specifically adding m/a, m/m, t/p to DEFAULT_PASS_MIME_TYPES in Defaults.py.in.
I've seen one funky thing, which is that if you take a M/M and strip it to a text/plain by removing the vcards and whatever else the mail server was attached, I've been told that the message when sent to an (I think) exchange server will turn the message footer into an attachment. That seems to be an exchange/outlook "feature". Whether we want to worry about that or not, I dunno.
But IMHO, that's the only glitch I've seen recently. My lists now seem rock solid, and I'm quite happy with them. I've had one guy have messages eaten because he was sending a text/html without a comparable text/plain, so his messages were showing up blank. When I pointed it out to him, he admitted he was simply hacking a web page into his email, so he realizes that's his problem, not mine.
The personalization is confusing a few people and messing up some people's filtering, but that's all working ot get people used to things, and I've been telling people to use List-ID for filtering for a year anyway... (grin).
I don't see any issues on my end. It's really stabilized nicely.
