I already know the answer that this has nothing to do with mailman,
but I want your opinion:
When members send emails that are highlighted, we receive it ok, but
when people reply or forward the same email, the highlight is gone.
I tested with the same users sending them private emails (outside of
mailman) and it all works ok.
Any idea why if we use mailman, the highlight disappears? is it a
settings issue?
I am doing the same highlight here to see if it will work for this
group.
"Highlighting" is a function of non-plaintext email, most often HTML in
the modern world but also sometimes other proprietary formats (e.g.
older Outlook) or other "rich text" formats that have lost the
competition to HTML, such as the "text/enriched" format. Most mail
composers using HTML in email use a "multipart/alternative" structure
which includes both a HTML version of the message and a plaintext
version, so that mail readers can display the mail even if they do not
support HTML. For a variety of reasons, some mailing lists are
configured to strip out the HTML part of multipart/alternative messages.
Many users (including myself) also preferentially only display the
plaintext version of multipart messages and so only reply to what is in
that part. Because any "highlighting" is only present in non-plaintext
email, lists and users who stick to plaintext do not see or preserve
that highlighting.
