Fwiw, a personal +1 to just including the link (and optionally 1 or 2 highlight sentences) in these email updates, which I otherwise appreciate. :) > > Why is that better than making both sources nicely formatted?

"Nicely" is subjective!! ;-) Yes, it is just a toggle, but as the FAQ[1] says: > Q. My users hate HTML in their email and for security reasons, I want to > strip out all MIME attachments.

[1] http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/faq.html A personal -1 to allowing HTML formatting on this list in general - I don't want to see twitter logos, custom typefaces/colors, or [[mystery meat navigation]] links, and all the other woes of HTML email - there isn't a way to override this in gmail directly, so I appreciate that some of our mailing lists auto-convert HTML->plaintext. If this sub-issue gets forked into a separate thread to propose a change, I can supply a litany of links as to why HTML emails are still bad netiquette and are frustrating for many users (especially on a technical mailing list, where some users use a CLI to read). But hopefully that's enough info to conclude this sub-issue. :-) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
