Fred Nothnagel CC:ed me on a reply to a user who was upset because her time-sensitive email was blocked because it was in HTML instead of plain text. In his reply, he said "Just so you know, the text-only policy is from our host, the Boston Linux Users Group, which hosts several other listservices and has enforced that policy to protect its own servers and the listservs they host. If I had approved your post, it would have been rejected by the server without much explanation." I don't think that's the case. The email being in HTML could never hurt our servers. I don't know if he was just saying that to shut her up or if he really believes it, but if it is his preference to allow HTML emails, would you all be OK with it? Is the filtering done via the PASS_MIME_TYPES configuration? It looks so. I propose adding JUST text/html and no other mime types. No other attachments, or attached images or other attachments. Is everyone OK with that?
