Subject: HTML: was Re: Announcement: CHANGES TO THE LIST
My request-for-enhancement is:
"do something" about HTML, or better still, "do something"
about
any "multipart/alternative" posting (which would include M$
richtext, with those application/ms-tnef attachments).
Options I can think of:
a) silently discard any such postings (probably not a good idea)
b) bounce them back to the author, with an explanation of why bounced
c) remove the non-text part
d) combination of (b) and (c)
e) accept, but warn the author (who may not realise (s)he's sent HTML)
I like b) most. This sending of HTML, happens mostly to new members, (or to
"old" users, which got a browser "update" ;-)) so they can see
immediatly
whats wrong, and we don't even see this email, so no reason for a new
discussion about it AGAIN. ;-)
just my $ .02
cheers,
emanuel
