Hello
Currently these lists only accept plain text e-mail and reject HTML mail.
This is inconvenient and harms our community, specially newcomers whose e-mail client sends HTML mail by default (it's 2020, yes, HTML mail is the default for many clients). I have received complaints about this and I have been bitten by this myself.
Is anyone against HTML mail? why? Please speak up until next Friday 13.03.2020.
The real problem with the openSUSE mailing lists is that the mailing list software (mlmmj) doesn't handle multipart mail correctly. Most mail clients actually send "multipart" mail in both HTML and plain text forms, so clients can view it in their preferred form. However, the openSUSE mailing list software does not handle that well (it rejects on the detection of any HTML content instead of just stripping or filtering). I hope that once we transition from mlmmj to Mailman 3, this will be fixed. I personally have no problem with receiving and sending HTML mail. Most modern email clients have the same kind of protection for HTML mail that browsers have for websites (ignoring the fact that things like JavaScript tend to not be supported by most HTML email clients anyway). -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: uyuni-users+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: uyuni-users+owner@opensuse.org
