[Zope] Re: OT: HTML

[Paul Tiemann]

(Off topic warning!  It's about an HTML posting solution...)

It seems HTML posting is a frequent problem on the list, enough to
generate occasional threads like this one...  Why not filter it out at
the source?  From the mailman faq:

Q. My users hate HTML in their email and for security reasons, I want to
strip out all MIME attachments. How can I do this?

A. Mailman 2.1 will probably have this feature built-in, but for now you
can use add-on tools such as demime or stripmime. More information on
these tools can be found at:

Etienne is supplying both a plain text and HTML version of the message.
Please configure your email reader to display the plain text part in
preference.

Etienne and others should not post HTML, neither alone nor together
with another format.

At least I refuse to read messages containing HTML: they are often
four to ten times larger than necessary. And, unfortunately,
my email reader insists to use the highest quality variant present
in the message. Thus, they are killed unread.
