Rupert raises an interesting point. How many people prefer such mailing list announcements of new reports to include a plaintext version of the report itself?
With the general monthly WMF report, we are always including a plaintext version (example: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaannounce-l/2012-September/000468.html ). But it's a bit of an overhead and we have been wondering if it is worthwhile. (One possible benefit, besides better readability on mobile devices according to Rupert, is that one can search the report in one's inbox together with other mailing list postings.) So hands up, who else reads or uses these plaintext email versions of such reports, and wants to see them included in the future? (Separately, there is the possibility of sending full HTML versions by email. This is something we started doing, somewhat experimentally, for the Wikimedia Research Newsletter - see https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/research-newsletter - but I assume this would not be desirable or acceptable for this list.)
