As I am working on emails lately, I will add this notification to my list.
Please undo the change that makes the "monthly status mails" now arrive in HTML format. This is not adding useful information but makes it more annoying for people that do not use a GUI mail client (because, you know, efficiency).
how about: /-> "Content-Type: text/plain" "Content-Type: multipart/alternative"-| \-> "Content-Type: text/html" - would this scratch your itch?
No. This is, in practice, one of the worst things that happen - multipart mails that have differing content in both bodies (and it happens quite more often that one would assume).
If there is *benefit* in HTML, like "nice advertising with pictures and tracking pixels and all that", go for it. If you want to send information, go for plain text (only).
Emphasis on information: Data intended as information, as in an email, should be Human readable Easily parsed by eye Easily parsed by code In the Monthly probe report, the tables of keys and values do not meet criterion 2 as the variable width font messes with the vertical alignment. Plain text and fixed field sizes could remedy that for both GUI and TextUI users. James R Cutler - 🦉 No AI content james.cutler@consultant.com
