[Mailman-Users] HTML

[Sean Carnahan]

Yes I agree its not wonderful

But I send out a newsletter that has to have graphics and flyers and if not
colorful they arent as effective for promotion.
Any ideas on how to do it even if you don't like it?

HTML mail is pure evil, in addition, some MUA's cannot cope with HTML mail,
or do not render it properly. Plus it adds a whole load of unneeded bloat,
and can be a security risk - especially when used in conjunction with
'LookOut'.
