retaining format of posted messages in html
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/07134959647f60af8064f05aab5089e2.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I have a few folks who need to post messages in html. it is distributed ok but The problem is when it gets archived it gets scrubbed and losses it's html properties when the url link is displayed. such as
<TD becomes <TD
when viewing the source of the displayed page
What if anything can be done in some setting to allow html to be saved in the archive.
This normally not wanted or encourged but for this list it is necessary to handle a few html tables.
Thanks in advance
Rob Cartier

Is this in the FAQ yet?

Let me quote the relevant parts from that message:

In other |> words I want a person to click on the link for a message and when |> it opens up it is in the original html format it was sent. |> |> What do I need to do so that it is not 'scrubbed'? | | You need to use a different archiving agent, other than the | built-in pipermail. | | Try mhonarc. See | <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.004.htp>.
However, someone else responded with a different solution, which
may also work. From Tokio Kikuchi <tkikuchi@is.kochi-u.ac.jp>:

If you want to add this to the FAQ, please go right ahead.
Otherwise, I will try to do so sometime this week.
