The new list software is apparently accepting HTML coded mail.

Demime is freely available and used by most lists I subscribe to. It must be a
requirement for digest mode. Mixed content encoding in a single message is
really a pain.

Depends on the mail client. The advantage is, we can finally send scripts
through with syntax coloring intact.

This is bad. This is very, very bad. I have my syntax coloring set up different than default. So when someone posts with their syntax coloring in the e-mail it makes it tougher to read the script, not easier. If I want to read the script with syntax coloring then I cut and paste it into a script editor document.


HTML e-mail is evil, as we just saw with the way that Gnarlie's recent syntax colored post turned out. Until Mail has a setting that allows you to completely turn off HTML e-mail (not just images) I would ask everyone to please just post plain text.

And yes I know I can just view the plain-text alternative but that's a real pain to do for every single message. Like I said, if Mail would allow it by default...
