This is by analogy to the service provided by the IETF's Mailarchive system (mailarchive.ietf.org, repo is at something like github,com/ietf-tools/mailarchive). We haven't really thought about the implications for a HyperKitty site, it just seemed cool. > Proposal 2: HTML Digests > > Having worked on HTML rendering and composing in !702 and !705, > HTML in email has been on my mind lately so this felt like a good > idea to pursue :) My reading of the ideas page is that this > involves hooking into the existing digest pipeline in Mailman Core > and adding a third digest type alongside plain text and MIME.

It seems like you just wrap these in their own DIV elements, and you're done. I think the best thing to do would be to look at the structure of the existing digests, and then do a mockup in pure HTML. Then you have something to discuss in terms of "do we need HTML-specific templates? which ones?" and that kind of thing. > Is this the right reading of the scope, and is it still current? Both of these are still current, and the scope seems about right. -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-developers.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: https://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: https://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
