Brendan,

Content such as this:

<a_made_up_xml_element new_attribute=”new_value”>

<another_made_up_xml_tag />

</a_made_up_xml_element>

… is formatted properly in emails, but not in the group’s message
archive.

Looks the same to me in both Thunderbird and in GMF's page:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/11529

Looking at the View Source of your message I notice that it is heavily styled, including adding its own style definitions.

In the Message Formatting section of your group's Settings page there are the "Force HTML Emails", the "Normalize HTML Emails", and the "Plain Text Only" options, none of which are checked in GMF. These may affect the rendering of text, but really shouldn't cause a misinterpretation of text for code, if that's what you're seeing.

In any case, the rendering of messages (and wiki pages) on Groups.io's web site "sanitizes" the HTML code to protect against elements like script or iframe which might be used in exploits.

Sometimes that cleaning is over-aggressive and removes style elements that are innocent. So in a heavily styled message such as yours it is possible that the cleaning is affecting the presentation.

This message is plain text, so we'll see if that's part of the issue.

It appears that the “Message Formatting” section of the settings page
only changes the format of emailed messages, and we don’t have a
problem with those.

I believe that both "Normalize HTML Emails", and "Plain Text Only" operate on the inbound message, and should affect both the email and web formatting.

Shal
