Good call! On this front: last time I checked, Postorius seemed to *require*, for at least some features, that users browse with JavaScript enabled. However, there exist good security reasons, and also good accessibility reasons (depending on one's disability), to *not* browse the web with JavaScript enabled. So, if a GSOC student takes up your suggestion and makes a 2.1-like skin for Postorius, please could you (or whoever ends up mentoring) work with the student to try to ensure that the skin is *entirely* usable without JavaScript. Aaron Gustafson's "Adaptive Web Design" (1st ed) would probably be a good starting point: https://adaptivewebdesign.info/1st-edition/index.html Thanks for reading this far. And if I was mistaken (or out of date) about Postorius requiring JavaScript, I would be very happy to stand corrected. (Lest I seem to be complaining unduly, I should add that other than the Postorius issue mentioned above, I think MailMan is pretty great on the whole and I am grateful that it exists and continues to be maintained/improved.)
