I do not want to experience some malicious person doing that on a mailing list! And what does/can HTML bring extra to an email?
1-typically triples the size of its content 2-can enable malicious content 3-enables imposing mousetype on the reader 4-complicates string search directly through raw mail directories
To be honest, Felix's summary really catches everything. This is a technically focused mailing list which doesn't need any graphics or typewriting fancies, can't we really not restrict the list servers to remove any HTML parts of an e-mail? It's technically possible... and helps to reduce ... I don't go any further as it might become really ugly then - at least in so called social media environments!
The mail servers have been updated to allow html mails, after decades of not allowing it. Welcome change :-)
Yes now the archives handle html email gracefully and given the blocking was causing newer users and contributors issues it is now allowed on openSUSE Lists. Beyond that, this topic is rather off topic for the support list, please continue it on a more appropriate list if you feel the need for further discussion. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
